Blue Ridge Unified School District

In fiscal year 2015, Blue Ridge Unified School District’s student achievement was higher than peer districts’, and the District operated efficiently overall. Blue Ridge USD’s administrative cost per pupil, plant operations cost per square foot, and food service cost per meal were all lower than peer districts’ averages. However, the District’s transportation program’s efficiency could not be measured because the District lacked sufficient records supporting the number of miles driven and riders transported on its buses, and it also did not follow its own bus preventative maintenance schedule. Additionally, the District should strengthen its purchasing, computer, and building access controls.
