SCHOOL DISTRICT BEING AUDITED

The Lockport Union Sun and Journal reports....

Royalton Hartland School District is being audited by the state comptroller’s office. The audits are required by state law and have been done since 2005. New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced Friday his office has began audits of the district along with a few other school districts, charter schools and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services. The press release districts are being audited “in order to improve accountability of the state’s schools.” DiNapoli’s office will audit all of New York’s 834 school districts, BOCES and charter schools by 2010. The state has completed 378 school audits and approximately 200 audits are currently underway.
