Albany, May 14, 2026 – The board did not adequately oversee the district’s financial operations related to maintaining accounting records, preparing bank reconciliations, submitting monthly and annual financial reports, performing annual audits, receiving state contract pricing for purchases and auditing and approving claims. As a result, the board’s ability to effectively manage the District’s financial condition, make sound financial decisions and ensure that the district only incurred necessary costs and paid for goods and services that were for appropriate district purposes were impaired. In addition, the district faced an increased risk of theft, waste and abuse of district resources.
