HARRISBURG (Dec. 19, 2018) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale today said his auditors have begun a performance audit of the Belle Vernon Area School District in Westmoreland County.

“School district audits help to reassure taxpayers that districts are spending scarce public funds efficiently and effectively,” DePasquale said.

The new audit will cover the period of July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2017. Audited areas may include:

  • Financial stability;
  • School safety;
  • Governance;
  • Academic performance;
  • Contract management and monitoring;
  • Administrator contract buyouts;
  • Bus driver qualifications;
  • Hiring practices;
  • Teacher and administrator certification;
  • Pupil transportation data collection and reporting; and
  • Student enrollment data collection and reporting.

The last audit of the Belle Vernon School district, released in November 2014, did not identify any areas of concern.
