Board selects Casey Peterson as district auditor after cost discussion
Summary
After reviewing quotes and single-audit implications, the Lead-Deadwood board voted to appoint Casey Peterson as the district auditor for 2026, with board members noting travel and single-audit cost differences in the multi-year proposal.
The Lead-Deadwood School District 40-1 board voted to change auditors and appoint Casey Peterson for the 2026 audit year following a discussion of proposals and costs.
Amanda, the district business manager, explained she values a working relationship with auditors and reviewed a multi-year quote that compared favorably in cost to the Department of Legislative Audit. Board members discussed line items including a possible single-audit charge (about $4,000 if the district exceeds the federal threshold), travel expenses, and a one-time $1,500 setup fee. Amanda said recent audits (2024 and 2025) totaled roughly $24,440–$25,480 and that travel would be added to the new contract.
A board member moved to approve Casey Peterson as auditor for 2026; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board recorded no roll-call tallies in the transcript. Administrators said the change would likely reduce costs over a three-year span unless a single audit is required in a future year.
