“In accordance with the education code on or before Sept. 17, the governing board is required to submit unaudited financial statements to the Solano County Superintendent of Schools,” stated Kelly Morgan, assistant superintendent of Business Services. “The district requested and received an extension of this due date from the Solano County Office of Education subsequently due to the retirement and hiring of key business office staff over the summer. This financial statement represents the financial status of all funds of the district as of June 30, 2012, and will be the basis for the 2011-2012 audit report.”

Highlighting the report are General Fund expenditures for 2012-2013 budget which total $143,645,135.00. Totals for 2011-2012 unrestricted and restricted unaudited actuals amounted to $148,853,938.10 which is a difference of -3.5 percent.
