Accountant’s report is online

If you have a penchant for numbers and want to check out the finances of the Oconee public schools, you can go to the district website and view the most recent audit.  Gloria Moore, district finance director, made the announcement last night after the outside auditor, Don Estep, delivered the financial report for 2018-19.  Moore says the audit can be viewed by going to the school district website.  She made a point to elaborate one number.  By June 30, the district’s fund balance–some call it rainy day account–stood at $23 million.  Moore says that sounds like a lot of money, but it’s there to draw to meet payroll needs during the school year and avoid the costs of borrowing money.
