District news
State audit found a $1 million general fund deficit
What happened
Auditor General Report No. 2026-166, presented to the board on April 14, 2026, found that at June 30, 2025 the general fund had a deficit of about $835,000. Its unassigned balance was a deficit of about $1.04 million, or negative 4.98% of general fund revenue. The audit says available money dropped sharply.
Why it matters to families
A negative fund balance means the district had no cash cushion for its day-to-day operating fund. This led to the cuts, the state emergency oversight and the line of credit.
