For months, there have been repeated claims online that the W**d Elementary construction project was “bungled,” that funds were “mismanaged,” or that the District failed to follow the law.
The Facts Speak for Themselves: Independent Audit Finds No Mismanagement, No Violations, and No Findings
Today, the facts speak for themselves.

The independent auditing firm CLA https://www.claconnect.com/en/industries/state-and-local-government/services-for-school-districts , has provided their draft audit of the School Facility Program Performance Audit for the W**d Elementary Financial Hardship Project (attached) and found NO audit findings, NO ineligible expenditures, NO mismanagement of funds, and NO violations of Education Code requirements.
The auditors concluded that W**d Union Elementary School District complied “in all significant respects” with California Education Code Section 41024 and all School Facility Program requirements.
Even more importantly, throughout the audit report the auditors repeatedly stated:
“No exceptions noted.”
The audit confirmed:
• Proper accounting and tracking of project expenditures
• Compliance with bidding and contracting laws
• Compliance with School Facility Program regulations
• Proper stewardship of public funds
• No ineligible expenditures
• No findings requiring corrective action.
The official “Summary of Audit Findings” lists:
NONE for findings and $0 for ineligible expenditures.
This matters because our community deserves truth, transparency, and facts — not rumors, misinformation, or politically motivated accusations.
We are incredibly proud of the work that has been done to protect taxpayer dollars while continuing to fight for a new school for our students and community.
We also want the public to know that transparency remains a priority. Community members are invited to attend tonight’s Special Board Meeting at 6:00 p.m. in Room 22 if they have questions about the audit or the project.
Thank you to our staff, Board of Education, partners, and community members who have continued to support this work and advocate for W**d Elementary students.
