This is in response to your September 19, 2019 letter notifying me that the
Rochester City School District’s (RCSD or “District”) 2018-19 internal year-end audit has
uncovered overspending in multiple departments. I am concerned with the implications of
this matter, especially the impact it may have on the educational opportunities for students
in the District.
I am pleased to learn the Office of the New York State Comptroller (OSC) will
conduct an audit to examine the finances of RCSD. OSC’s Division of Local Government
and School Accountability has extensive experience in conducting financial audits of
schools. The full cooperation of your staff is expected in this critical analysis. However, we
cannot await the Comptroller’s findings and recommendations to correct the situation.
I urge you to take immediate actions to ensure proper cash management and
monitoring controls are in place as identified in the Rochester City School District
Distinguished Educator’s report’s 84 recommendations.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth R. Berlin
Interim Commissioner
