Auditors give district and Measure G funds clean opinions; one school safety‑plan deadline missed
Summary
Auditors reported an unmodified (clean) opinion on the district's 2024‑25 financial statements and a clean Measure G performance audit; one state compliance finding noted a school safety plan submitted 12 days late.
An independent audit partner told the board the district's 2024‑25 fiscal statements received an unmodified (clean) opinion and no material misstatements were found, though auditors reported one compliance finding: a single school submitted its comprehensive safety plan 12 days after the March 1 deadline.
Jeff Nagra, auditing partner, summarized the work the firm conducted: financial‑statement testing, internal controls review and single‑audit sampling of federal programs. "The opinion is unmodified — that's what you want to hear," Nagra said, noting that the one finding had "no financial consequence" but must be reported under state compliance rules.
Nagra also reported a clean financial and performance audit for Measure G bond funds, saying auditors tested nearly $17 million in bond expenditures and found they were used for permissible projects and procured according to public contract code requirements.
Board members asked follow‑up questions about audit scope, the process for correcting the safety‑plan deficiency and whether the audit assesses long‑term fiscal sustainability. The auditor said the audit opines on the statements as of June 30 and will note a one‑year outlook only if there is substantial doubt about near‑term fiscal sustainability; no such qualification was necessary this year.
Trustees asked staff to return with corrective actions for the safety‑plan finding and noted that full disclosure on any bond underwriting and fees related to an upcoming bond sale would be provided at a subsequent meeting.
