Governing board accepts 2023–24 audit; auditors cite two findings
Summary
The board accepted the June 30, 2024 audit from Nigro & Nigro, which delivered a clean opinion on the districtfinancial statements but identified two compliance findings: transitional kindergarten enrollment issues and mismatches in the School Accountability Report Card.
The governing board accepted the districtaudit for the year ended June 30, 2024 after a presentation by Peter Glenn of Nigro & Nigro.
In a presentation to the board, Mr. Peter Glenn, a partner with audit firm Nigro & Nigro, said the auditors issued a clean (unmodified) opinion that the districtfinancial statements are fairly stated. Glenn said the audit also includes separate compliance reporting and that the firm issued four reports covering the financial statements, internal control and compliance under Government Auditing Standards, the federal single audit, and state compliance testing. He said the districtfiled the audit with the state controlleroffice, the California Department of Education (CDE), the county office, and the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, as required for entities that expend federal funds.
Glenn told the board auditors tested attendance at three sites as part of state compliance work and reviewed federal programs including special education and ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief); he said those federal areas had no findings. He said the audit includes two findings described in the reportfindings section: (1) an issue related to transitional kindergarten and some early-enrollment students, and (2) inconsistencies between the facility inspection tool and data shown on the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) posted each year. Glenn said both findings are explained in the findings section of the audit report (pages referenced in the report).
