IntroductionIntroduction The State requires Districts to report on their interim financial and budgetary
status twice a year, as of October 31 and as of January 31. This report must be certified as Positive, Qualified, or Negative.
Qualified Certification means the District may not meet its financial obligations.
Negative Certification means the District will not be able to meet its financial obligations.
Certifying Qualified will require the County Office of Education to intervene on the district’s financial and educational operations.
Certifying Negative will require the County Office of Education and the State to intervene on District operations. The intervention will include staying and rescinding of district’s board action.
The goal of the District is to continue certifying “Positive”
