At the request of the Levittown Board of Education, the New York State Comptroller's Office has begun an audit of the Levittown School District's 2006-07 school budget. The state auditors began their work in Levittown on Tuesday, Oct. 23 by meeting with representatives of the Levittown school board and the office of the Levittown Superintendent of Schools.

After discovering errors of under-budgeting for the 2006-2007 school year budget, the school district, the Superintendent and the Board of Education, along with several community groups, requested an independent review by the state.

At the initial meeting on Oct. 23, the state auditors acknowledged the strong financial positions of the school district, and indicated that the errors of under-budgeting for the 2006-2007 school year, along with any implications for the 2007-08 school year, would be reviewed in conjunction with the Comptroller's standard school district audit protocol. The state's audit is expected to take five to eight months to complete, and its results will be made public upon completion.
