Representatives said there were some themes that showed up consistently as they worked on the audit, particularly that there seemed to be no clearly defined or followed guidelines for financial oversight within Jefferson County Public Schools. The firm found eight areas they\u2019re calling high priority, and put five other areas of concern in a moderate priority category. <\/p>\n
