The district is in the process of implementing dozens of recommendations that emerged from an independent audit, all geared toward avoiding the kind of financial crises the district has faced over the last year.
Monday, Interim Chief Financial Officer Kyna Koch said the district is increasing scrutiny of budget amendments requiring board approval of any amendments above $50,000. That's down from $100,000.
When it comes to marking off most of the to-do items that came out of the audit, Koch had this prediction.
"I would hope by the end of this fiscal year that most of what is in there will be will have been at least addressed if not totally completed. There are some things in there that we noted very early on that we just could not address until we had additional resources," she said.
Regarding the overall budget, Koch offered another projection.
"We expect to go into the 2028 budget with a with a balanced budget without any one-time money. So we expect to have a two percent contingency.
We expect it to be balanced without any one-time money," she added.
But for now, the district remains well below the required two percent contingency fund.
