The Jones County School District 37-3 has considered the lack of segregation of duties. At this time, it is not cost effective for the District to hire the additional staff needed to achieve segregation of duties. The District is aware of the continued weakness in internal controls and will continue to develop policies and procedures and provide on-going controls to reduce the risk. The school board will continue to monitor the necessity to have segregation of duties to secure financial integrity and implement such a segregation as budget dollars and board authority allow.
