SOUND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

By Meredith Reynolds

As a Board member, my first responsibility to you is to guarantee the sound financial management of our district. My undergraduate degree in Economics with an emphasis in Public Finance and Fiscal Policy, my law degree and my professional experience as a corporate attorney give me precisely the skills and knowledge necessary to oversee the financial management of this District.

As a Board member, my first responsibility to you is to guarantee the sound financial management of our district. My undergraduate degree in Economics with an emphasis in Public Finance and Fiscal Policy, my law degree and my professional experience as a corporate attorney give me precisely the skills and knowledge necessary to oversee the financial management of this District. Without sound financial management, we have nothing, I am the one candidate with the professional training to guarantee a strong financial future for this district and the 4300 students who depend on that future.

Both the `96-'97 and th `97-'98 independent audits of our District have resulted in a Unqualified Opinion, which means the auditors had no "findings". Fewer than five percent of all school districts in the state are granted an Unqualified Opinion.
