Almost half of Mississippi’s 138 school districts have not submitted at least one year of financial audits. The districts are required to complete annual financial reviews to document how public funds are spent. State law sets deadlines for these submissions.

School districts must file audited financial statements each year. The reports show revenue, spending, and compliance with state rules. Some districts have missed deadlines by multiple years. The missing reports leave gaps in public records of district finances.

State officials track which districts have filed reports and which remain overdue. The data covers submissions for recent fiscal years.
