Board accepts audit showing $2 million deficit and approves corrective actions
Summary
Trustees received a clean audit for 2024–25 that nonetheless recorded two repeat findings, including roughly $2 million in deficit spending; the board approved corrective actions and noted a hardship waiver filed and approved by the county.
The district's auditor reported the 2024–25 audit was "extremely clean" but included two findings: a deficit spending figure of about $2,000,000 and a longstanding ratio issue between administrators and certificated staff that kept the district below a 55% target.
The presenter (speaker 13) told trustees a hardship waiver had been filed and approved by the county superintendent's office, and explained that OPEB obligations and special education encroachment were part of the calculations. The presenter also noted salary increases for 2025–26 would help the percentages in future audits.
Trustees moved and approved the audit report and then approved the certification of corrective actions; the transcript records the corrective action approval as 6–0. A trustee asked what would happen if a county office did not approve the waiver; staff said the county could require set‑aside actions to meet the percent targets.
