The Big Rapids Public School system is in good financial health. That's the message the Board of Education received at Monday's meeting from Rehmann Robson, a Michigan based auditing firm, for the school year ending in June of 2016. Board President Peter Kent says he's pleased with the audit results.

“The audit went excellent. Tina Mills, who's our financial director, she checked it, the board checked it, everything's fine. We got a clear audit, we got a clean audit.”

According to the report, the District's total net position increased by $534,366 and, as of the close of the current fiscal year, the District's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $2,559,074, an increase of $455,532 in comparison with the prior year.

Kent adds there should be no financial problems for the foreseeable future at Big Rapids Public Schools.
