Blackstone criticizes prior auditors at San Felipe Del Rio ISD
San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District trustees face budget corrections after the new auditing firm Garza Gonzalez and Associates found items dating back to 2001 2002. Board member Stanley Blackstone urged accountability for past mistakes while Superintendent Roberto Fernandez described the fixes as necessary to correct past misstatements. Martinez Jr supported tightening controls to prevent this in the future. A $1 570 718 adjustment was approved to move items from 2002 2003 into 2003 2004 expenditures due to misdated listings.
