Auditor General DePasquale Releases Audits for School Districts in Delaware and Northampton Counties
HARRISBURG (June 18, 2020) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale today announced the release of audit reports for the Interboro School District in Delaware County and the Bangor Area School District in Northampton County.
“My audits help ensure every available dollar of education funding is focused on students to improve their learning experience,” DePasquale said, noting that his audit team continues to work remotely with school district officials across Pennsylvania.
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.
