State Auditor Troy Keller released his office's report on SPS's " financial statements and compliance with federal laws and regulations." It's a lengthy report but that is because it contains page after page of district financial reports.  It makes for interesting reading if you have the time.   Page 49 has the investments that the City puts into SPS.
