requiring every school, school district, and school administrative unit to produce independent audits and financial reports to be posted publicly and sent to the department of education and the department of revenue administration.

Summary

The bill would force every school, school district and school administrative unit that receives state money to have an independent audit each year, send the report to the state education and revenue departments within 180 days, and make the report publicly available. If an audit finds serious problems, the education department could demand quarterly financial updates and could hold back funding until the issues are fixed. The proposal was intended to boost transparency but did not allocate new money for its implementation.
