Roseburg School District received the highest assurance in its independent audit for the fiscal year 2023-24.

A district release said this demonstrates a commitment to financial transparency and accountability. This is the ninth year in a row that the district has received this recognition.

The audit, conducted by KDP Certified Public Accountants LLP, reflects a comprehensive review of the district’s financial operations and confirms compliance with state and federal regulations. The district received an “unmodified opinion”, the highest assurance level an audit can offer.

Superintendent Jared Cordon said, “Receiving an unmodified opinion shows the unwavering commitment of our district and School Board to using taxpayer dollars responsibly”.

The release said the Board of Directors received the audit report at its December 11th meeting. Community members are invited to review the completed report and annual budget on the district’s website: https://www.roseburg.k12.or.us/departments/business-operations/public-information.

Cordon said, “We remain focused on addressing the long-term challenges including the maintenance of aging school facilities, as well as navigating fluctuating enrollment numbers and unpredictable funding levels”. Cordon said, “Our financial planning reflects these priorities, ensuring that Roseburg schools remain a cornerstone of our community”.
