Audit finds bus drivers were not tested for alcohol
What happened
The FY2025 audit gave the district a clean opinion but listed three problems. One was that required random alcohol tests for bus drivers were not done after the district switched testing companies. The others were big end-of-year accounting fixes and missing staff paperwork.
Why it matters to families
Random drug and alcohol tests help keep students safe on buses. The superintendent said she takes full responsibility and that the district went back to its earlier testing company.
The evidence
