Superintendent Walter Fitch announced at last night's meeting the district's regular audit is complete. The audit had found a few minor errors. All administrative and others need to return financial statements in a timely manner. The deadline for these reports is March. People transportation was under reported. There were a few school bus qualification irregularities such as: drivers' license, criminal background checks. The audit had noted a few observations they had noticed such as: to seek transportation providers, look at state formulas, and place bids; develop a procedure manual and transportation provider, if a school bus driver has a driving related offense to notify the district.
High School Principal Donald Wismar said the PSSA writings are underway, with the reading and math to follow in the spring.
