Summary

School business administrator Steven Fry told the board the district received an unmodified (clean) FY25 audit opinion while auditors noted four findings in food service cash controls, payroll agency reconciliations, journal entry controls and student activity account reconciliations.

Steven Fry, the district’s school business administrator, told the board the FY25 audit received an unmodified opinion — commonly called a "clean" opinion — but included four auditor comments requiring corrective action.

"We received an unmodified opinion on the audit report, which is the best opinion you can get," Fry said. He read the auditor comments into the record, citing findings on school food service cash resource controls, payroll agency account reconciliations, timely and accurate journal entries, and improved controls over student activity bank-account reconciliations.

Fry noted the number of findings decreased from six the prior year to four this year and said the district aims for zero findings. Board members asked no substantive questions and thanked Fry for the report. The finance committee had discussed the audit in more depth at its Feb. 24 meeting earlier in the week, including related corrective-action planning.

The board will consider acceptance of the annual comprehensive financial report and the auditor’s management report as part of the consent agenda; corrective-action plans to address the four findings were listed for approval under business item B7 on the agenda.
