Members of the Athens ISD Board of Trustees were presented with a review of the district’s annual fiscal year audit report during the recent regular meeting.
“The report is very positive,” said J.W. Lambright of the local accounting firm Smith, Lambright & Associates.
The report indicated that Athens ISD’s general fund balance is very strong and appropriate for the district’s routine operations. The fund balance at fiscal year end, June 30, 2016, increased compared to the previous year.

Sen. Robert Nichols (R-Jacksonville) met with local superintendents from Henderson County last week. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss education issues in preparation for the 85th Legislature which convenes in January.
