Summary

Juniper, CPA representative Joseph Carter told the board the fiscal 2024–25 single audit for federal programs (child nutrition, Title I, innovative literacy) found no findings; the deputy treasurer presented October balances and noted higher electric usage at some facilities to be monitored.

Joseph Carter, representative of Juniper, CPA, presented the district’s independent auditor’s report for fiscal year 2024–25 and reported that the single-audit tests of federal programs (child nutrition, Title I and innovative literacy) produced no findings.

Carter said the district’s financial statements “accurately reflect” the district’s financial position but noted the audit included a qualification because fixed assets were not listed in the report. He summarized the auditors’ results and disposition of prior findings and invited questions from the board.

Deputy Treasurer (Speaker 4) reported October balances: district total $15,842,487.90; general fund receipts for the month $101,115.76; general fund balance reported as $7,340,750.60; building fund $6,954,908.19; bond funds $22,100; sinking fund $194,247.98; activity account approximately $1,220,157. Deputy Treasurer and board members discussed an increase in electric costs (weight room and main high-school building) and said staff will monitor usage and investigate possible causes.

Board members asked routine procedural questions about the auditor’s report; Carter reiterated there were no audit findings on federal awards and no findings on the financial statements apart from the noted fixed-asset presentation. The board acknowledged the auditor’s report and proceeded to acknowledgement and notarization of the audit acknowledgement page.
