The Board heard a report from its independent auditors, Stambaugh Ness, at their regular meeting on December 18, 2017. The auditors noted that their report for 2016-2017 includes an unqualified opinion, meaning that no material differences were found and that the district's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The results show that Unassigned Fund Balance increased by $1,644,778. This was due primarily from revenues being $1,999,418 more than budgeted (3.5%) and expenses being $2,340,592 less than budgeted (3.8%). Those differences more than offset the shortfall in the approved budget.
