Financial Management: Met all criteria by providing public access to the district’s current bond rating and detailed expenditures by project.
Annual Audit: Fulfilled all standards, including availability of financial audits, district responses to audit findings, and active CBOC participation in auditor selection, scope review, and report previews.
