Higley Unified superintendent cites annual independent audit, highlights district print shop as community revenue source
Summary
Superintendent David Lotzenizer said Higley Unified School District undergoes an independent audit each year and has received an award eight consecutive years; he also described the district print shop as a public-use revenue source for schools and local groups.
Higley Unified School District Superintendent David Lotzenizer said the district's finance team receives an independent audit every year and has won an award for its audit performance eight years in a row. He also described the district print shop as a public-use facility that generates revenue to support school sites, PTOs, booster clubs and local small businesses.
Lotzenizer said the district's strategic plan includes "anchor 4, finance and operations," and that the finance and maintenance-and-operations departments seek to "be as fiscally responsible as we can to make sure we're making the appropriate decisions to support our sites." He said the audit process ensures the district is "following the rules prescribed to us by the state of Arizona."
The superintendent noted the print shop on district property serves not just the school system but also parent-teacher organizations, booster clubs and small businesses, and he directed interested parties to the district website for details about services. Lotzenizer said the print shop is a public-use facility and framed it as one of the district's revenue streams.
"Together, we got this," Lotzenizer said, closing his remarks.
