Corrective Action Plan

As a small district, we continue to monitor segregation of duties to the best of our abilities. Staff is limited, and with limited increases to state funding, segregating duties is difficult. The Superintendent and Board will continue to review the District’s financials, accounts payable, and payroll statements and reports. The District has also sought to increase operational sharing opportunities in fiscal year 2026 and beyond that could improve segregation of duties.
