Additional May Mishaps
10-2600-500 reflecting Other Purchased Services for Operations/Maintenance Plant Services is $11.50 short on the Summary Report of expenditures (May data in June packet) versus the actual total checks found in the back of the May packet (no checks for May in the June packet) - with no voided checks to account for this discrepancy
10-2700-600 reflecting Supplies for Student Transportation Services is $52.63 short of total checks written - with no voided checks!
It doesn't take a CPA to understand that such things need explanation, and it doesn't take a CPA to understand a straightforward answer. The reporting is either deceptive or incomplete. To prove to the taxpayer that no deception is occurring, the public needs to see "the rest of the story". The board itself cannot make heads or tails of such information, without getting additional material to fill in the gaps. These discrepancies in May are but the tip of the iceberg for the entire year, which includes who categories of unbudgeted expenditures suddenly appearing without any corresponding vote or discussion in board minutes. The State auditors avoids "seeing" and of this by requiring documentation that eliminates such details and requiring the public to first of all notice such things, and then take the Board to court over each and every instance of this misfeasance. The Board, then, merrily pursues its misbehavior with impunity and apparent sanction by the "watchdogs" at the state level. To call them watchdogs is a joke, of course. A better name would be co-conspirators.
