The Rio Grande SUN reported on the much-improved audit of the Espanola School District for Fiscal Year 2020 (âDistrict Much Improved,â April 23, page A1).
   Though I was unavailable for comment on the Espanola School Districtâs audit by the press deadline, I felt it important to express my sentiments regarding this topic and specifically to commend the District for its effort and dedication in resolving a number of concerning issues.
   The Office of the State Auditor is intentional about pushing for strong accountability and transparency while also taking opportunities to celebrate excellence in government. I am pleased to see, and recognize, the Districtâs responsiveness, commitment to financial accountability, and proper prioritization of financial remedies.
