Kings Treasurer, Cary Furniss said that this award is a positive reflection of every employee in the Kings District. He said, “The Auditor of State Award is a reflection on the efforts of every employee in the Kings School District to fulfill our mission according to the laws, policies, and guidelines prescribed.  Kings is blessed with dedicated individuals involved in payroll, personnel, and accounting of public funds for the District and they all have contributed significantly to this recognition.”
