DESOTO, Mo (April 18, 2018) Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway has announced her office has begun an audit of the De Soto Public School District #73 in Jefferson County. Residents of the district requested the audit through the petition process, and Auditor Galloway met with some petitioners today to hear more about their concerns.
"The petition audit process allows citizens to demonstrate that they want to be engaged in ensuring government accountability at all levels," Auditor Galloway said. "I appreciate the time and effort of the petitioners. They can be sure we will take their concerns seriously as we complete an independent and thorough review of school district operations and finances."
The De Soto School District has an early childhood center, two elementary schools, a junior high school and a senior high school that include approximately 3,100 students. The petition audit required 770 signatures.
