External auditors give Wichita Falls ISD a clean opinion; single‑audit report delayed by federal compliance supplement
Claire Boynton of Weaver told the Wichita Falls ISD Board of Trustees that Weaver had issued an unmodified opinion on the district’s financial statements and had found no material weaknesses in internal‑control testing. "We have issued the independent auditor's report on the financial statements, and we noted an unmodified opinion," Boynton said, describing that opinion as "the cleanest opinion you can receive."

Boynton told trustees the firm had completed single‑audit testing of major federal programs — including the special education cluster, ESSER funds and Title II — and that those tests covered roughly 30% of the district’s federal financial assistance (the firm said it had sampled above the minimum requirement). However, she said Weaver could not yet issue its final compliance opinion on federal programs because the 2025 federal compliance supplement had not been released; Boynton attributed the delay to federal timing and a recent government shutdown. She said the Texas Education Agency had extended its submission timeline accordingly.

On internal controls and compliance, Boynton said the audit noted no reportable findings and no questioned costs above reportable thresholds; the engagement also underwent an engagement quality review by a partner at the firm. She said the district had implemented GASB 101 accounting changes this year without a material effect on the balance sheet and that auditors identified no fraud or illegal acts.

Auditors and trustees also discussed a state receivable: Boynton explained that amounts TEA owed the district had been reported as "due from other governments" in the general fund and that remaining balances were settled in September. The presentation included a discussion of recent bond refunding closing costs: auditors described one‑time issuance/closing costs of roughly $300,000 and a district contribution of about $315,000 tied to a refinancing; trustees said the district expects the refunding to save approximately $3.6 million in taxpayer costs over the next 10 years.

Boynton said once the federal compliance supplement is released and Weaver completes its final procedural steps, the firm will issue the single‑audit compliance opinion and provide final reports to the district and TEA.
