Their recommendation was transparency.

The organization mentioned expenditures, revenue and notable changes. The notable changes focus on teacher and staff cuts partially due to lower enrollment.

The noted expenditures include a $11 million increase in money the district must give to charter schools.

As for revenue, there’s a $12 million reduction in the use of the district’s savings in case of future financial stress.
