Auditors deliver clean opinion; board accepts annual audit
Summary
External auditor Patillo, Brown & Hill issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on Tyler ISD's annual report, reporting a general‑fund unassigned balance of just over $48 million and no federal compliance findings; the board voted to accept the audit.
Michelle Majeski, CPA at Patillo, Brown & Hill, presented the district’s annual comprehensive financial report and said the audit produced an unmodified (clean) opinion "in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards," indicating no material misstatements due to fraud or error. Majeski reported the general fund ended with a little over $48,000,000 in unassigned fund balance — roughly three months of operating expenditures — and said the district came in under budget on expenditures while recognizing somewhat more state revenue than anticipated.
Because the district expended federal grant funds above the single‑audit threshold, the auditors performed a compliance audit on major federal programs (including IDEA‑B) and reported no findings of noncompliance. Majeski described the district’s internal‑control testing as showing no reportable issues and thanked district staff for their cooperation in preparing the report.
Trustees moved to accept the annual audit and the motion carried. One trustee later commented that the district’s transition of financial leadership had been smooth and reiterated confidence in the district’s financial stability.
