Hastings Boys’ High School says its financial reporting is now back on track after the Ministry of Education had to step in to help the school meet its obligations.
A limited statutory manager (LSM) was appointed for the school earlier this year by the Ministry and remains in place.
That was due to audits of financial accounts not being completed by the school for the years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
School principal Rob Sturch said that appointment had nothing to do with the misuse of any finances, but was rather about the filing of annual accounts.
“We got a couple of years behind in filing our annual accounts, and that is all it was,” he said.
