West G Receives Award
A recent financial audit of the West Geauga Local School District by the Auditor of State Dave Yost’s office has returned a clean audit report. West Geauga’s excellent record keeping has earned the Auditor of State Award with Distinction.
“While a school’s primary concern is its students, it must also remain accountable to taxpayers,” Auditor Yost said. “Accurate record keeping is clearly a priority for West Geauga Local Schools, and I am proud to present this award to the district.”
The Auditor of State Award with Distinction is presented to local governments and school districts upon the completion of a financial audit. Entities that receive the award meet the following criteria of a “clean” audit report:
