Business Services Type Action Recommended Action It is recommended that the Annual Audit for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2025, be accepted and acknowledge receipt. Prepared by: Bea Corral, Director, Fiscal Services Staff Analysis: In accordance with Education Code Section 41020, which requires all school districts to undergo an annual independent audit to support sound fiscal oversight, the 2024-25 Bakersfield City School District audited financial statements have been completed by Eide Bailly, LLP. The audit was conducted using Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) and standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Eide Bailly, LLP has issued its formal conclusions in the attached audit report. The audit affirms the District’s continued commitment to strong fiscal stewardship, transparent financial reporting, and responsible management of state and federal resources. Summary of Auditor Results The District received unmodified (clean) opinions across all major areas of review: Financial Statements Unmodified opinion on the District’s financial statements. No material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting were identified. Federal Programs Unmodified opinion on compliance for major federal programs. No material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over federal compliance were reported. State Compliance Unmodified opinion on all areas of state compliance reviewed. One finding related to Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) minutes, described below. A single state compliance finding was issued related to the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP): During three late-start days in the 2024-25 school year, middle school ELOP programs operated for eight hours instead of the required nine, resulting in a one-hour shortfall on each of the three days. These occurrences coincided with scheduled late-start days used for staff professional development. The District has identified questioned costs representing 1.4% of the total 2024-25 ELOP allocation. Corrective procedures were implemented during the 2024/25 school year to to ensure that all required program hours were met for the remainder of the school year and moving forward. This isolated finding reflects a scheduling issue rather than a fiscal concern. These results reflect the District’s strong internal auditing processes, high-quality financial reporting practices, and effective internal controls.

Consent Agenda Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action It is recommended that the Letter of Consent for the Kern County Treasurer-Tax Collector to Proceed with the Sale of the Tax Defaulted Property be approved. Prepared by: Bea Corral, Director, Fiscal Services Staff Analysis: In accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3700, taxing agencies are asked to provide written consent before the County proceeds with the sale of certain tax-defaulted properties. The Kern County Treasurer-Tax Collector has issued a Letter of Consent requesting acknowledgment from the Bakersfield City School District for the inclusion of specified tax-defaulted parcels, resideing within the District's boundaries, in the County’s upcoming public auction. The attached Letter of Consent notes that the Kern County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2025-235, directing the Treasurer-Tax Collector to conduct a public auction of identified tax-defaulted properties on March 9–11, 2026. The list of parcels proposed for auction is included in the accompanying exhibit. It is important to clarify that the District’s approval of the Letter of Consent is strictly procedural. The County’s authority to move forward with the auction is not dependent on the District granting approval, and this action does not initiate, authorize, or contribute to any foreclosure procedings on the listed properties. Properties included in the auction have already been in tax-default status for the legally required duration, and the auction process is administered solely by the County under state law. Granting consent simply acknowledges the District’s receipt of the County’s request and aligns with standard statutory procedures. It is recommended that the Letter of Consent for the Kern County Treasurer-Tax Collector to Proceed with the Sale of Tax Defaulted Property be approved.
