Committee: transportation mileage report to ODE had an extra digit; district amended it
Summary
A transportation reporting error submitted to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) produced an inflated miles figure; staff amended the submission and auditors said the issue had no long‑term fiscal impact.
Members asked auditors whether the single state‑standard exception referenced in the report was the transportation schedule. Gary Bennett, the district CFO, confirmed staff had submitted a mileage figure with “one extra digit,” which inflated the total reported to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE).
Bennett and the auditors said the district amended the report and that the error did not affect the district’s financial position. Tara Camp noted the transportation entry is reported because state school funding factors include mileage, but that the correction removed any lingering funding impact.
