As COVID-19 relief funds expire and a new financial software system is introduced, 307NetInfo caught up with Superintendent Auzqui to discuss the financial status of Johnson County School District #1, and its new designation as a ‘Recapture District’.

Educating the students of Johnson County costs approximately $19 million annually. Amid some criticisms that education is overfunded, Superintendent Auzqui explains the complexities and challenges involved in managing the district’s finances and addresses whether the available funds are sufficient to meet the district’s needs.
