State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli reported the results of a five-year program that audited every school district and BOCES in New York State for ethical and capable financial management. According to DiNapoli, “the overwhelming majority of school districts are honest and ethical and care only about providing the best education possible.”
Of the 733 school districts and BOCES that were examined, 39 districts, about 5%, were deemed excellent. Haldane School received this honorable designation for its good financial practice.
