(Williston, ND) -- A report from a state auditor is raising more concerns over the Williston School District.

Back in 2021, the public took issue with how accounts were settled during the merger of Williams County Public School District 8 and Williston Public School District 1.

The report released Wednesday is validating some of those concerns as it has highlighted hundreds of millions of dollars in mismanaged funds.

Current superintendent Richard Faidley called the report "extremely concerning" and promises to fix any of the violations found in the audit.
