Auditor General DePasquale Releases Audits for School Districts in Carbon, Centre, Lebanon Counties
HARRISBURG (Sept. 12, 2019) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale today announced the release of audit reports for school districts in Carbon, Centre and Lebanon counties.
“Students and staff deserve to know that administrators are using their schools’ resources efficiently and effectively,” DePasquale said. “That way, they can keep their focus where it belongs: on the classroom.”
The Department of the Auditor General examines the records of school districts, charter schools, intermediate units, and area vocational-technical schools. The audit assessments include whether school entities received the state subsidies and reimbursements to which they were entitled, accurately managed taxpayer funds, and complied with ethics codes. The audits also determine whether teachers and administrators were properly certified for the positions they held during the audit period.
The full audit reports are available online using the links provided below.

Complied, in all significant respects, with applicable state laws, contracts, grant requirements and administrative procedures, except for these findings: the district inaccurately reported student transportation data to the state Department of Education, which resulted in an overpayment to the district of $87,763. In addition, the district failed to ensure that its contracted bus drivers were properly qualified and cleared to transport students.
