Auditor issues clean opinion; district spent about $8.8M in federal awards in 2024
Summary
An external auditor told the Lebanon R-III board the district received an unmodified (clean) audit opinion with no material weaknesses and no required federal-program findings; the auditor flagged routine cybersecurity recommendations and listed about $8.8 million in federal award spending for 2024.
An external auditor reported to the Lebanon R‑III Board that the district’s financial statements received an unmodified (clean) opinion and that auditors found no material weaknesses or findings in the single-audit of federal programs.
“In our opinion, the district complied in all material respects with the compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs,” the presenter said, noting the special education cluster, Title I grants and COVID fiscal-recovery funds were among the three federal programs audited. The auditor told the board the district’s schedule of expenditures of federal awards shows about $8,800,000 routed through district programs in 2024.
The auditor also reviewed two routine management letters. One urged continued attention to cybersecurity and internal controls around banking and wire transfers; the other was a governance letter required under government auditing standards that noted no disagreements with management and no significant difficulties in performing the audit. The auditor thanked district leadership and staff for their cooperation during fieldwork.
Board members asked a few clarifying questions about which federal programs were selected for testing and the risk‑assessment process auditors use to set the single-audit scope.
