Board accepts clean audit; hears successor bargaining proposals from educators
Summary
Auditors delivered an unmodified (clean) opinion on Twin Rivers' 2023–24 financials and reported no internal-control or federal compliance findings; the board accepted the audit. The board also opened a public hearing and adopted the initial proposals for the successor agreement with Twin Rivers United Educators.
Twin Rivers Unified trustees accepted the district’s 2023–24 independent audit after a presentation by the district’s audit partner from Nigro & Nigro, which issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the district’s financial statements.
The auditor explained the audit covers financial statements and required state and federal compliance areas. "I'm very pleased to report there were no findings related to internal controls, financial reporting, or federal compliance," the auditor said, noting two state compliance findings without financial penalties and one repeated previous finding from 2022–23. Board members thanked the fiscal services team for the work leading to the clean opinion.
By roll call, a motion to accept the audit carried with the clerk recording Ayes from the trustees present.
During the same meeting the board opened a public hearing on initial proposals for successor bargaining with Twin Rivers United Educators (the district’s teachers’ union). The proposals were placed on the record and the board adopted the documents by motion; the current contract expires June 30, 2025. The union’s presentation emphasized priorities for upcoming bargaining including staffing, educator pay and stability.
What this means: Acceptance of the audit completes the public review of the district’s 2023–24 financial statement. The successor-proposal adoption is procedural and sets the bargaining process in motion ahead of contract negotiations this year.
