SLSD Recognized for Excellence in Financial Reporting

We are proud to announce that Southwest Local School District has received the Auditor of State Award for excellence in financial reporting. This prestigious recognition is awarded to less than 13% of school districts statewide, highlighting our commitment to transparency, accuracy, and fiscal responsibility.

The Auditor of State Award is given to entities that demonstrate the highest standards of financial accountability. To qualify, districts must meet rigorous criteria, including:

• Filing financial reports on time and in accordance with GAAP accounting standards
• Maintaining a clean audit report free of findings for recovery, material weaknesses, and significant deficiencies
• Adhering to best practices in financial management and reporting

This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our finance team, who ensure that our district operates with integrity and fiscal responsibility. We are honored to be recognized among Ohio’s top-performing districts for financial excellence.
