The budget that was presented to the public was an intentional fraud. The entire senior administration was well aware of this. For most of the budget, you won't need to be an accountant. All you need to do is compare the budget to the Management Accounting Data, staff head counts, staff salaries, all sources of funding including grants and tax projections. Anyone with a calculator, highlighter and a pencil will be able to review and compare most of the numbers in the budget. Just ensure that you ask for the original paperwork originating outside of the district. For every figure they present ask for the backup documentation that supports it.
