Ysleta ISD audit office reports 18 campus audits completed; legal counsel urges closed session for personnel findings
Summary
The district's internal audit office gave a quarterly update showing campus and noncampus audit activity, hotline reports and follow‑ups; chief counsel advised handling personnel‑sensitive findings in closed session.
Ysleta ISD's internal audit office reported progress on the 2025 audit plan and follow‑up reviews during the Aug. 27 board meeting, and chief counsel recommended a closed session for personnel‑sensitive audit findings.
Internal audit director (presenting as Miss Sanchez) said the office had completed 18 campus audits since the May update, had seven campus audits in progress and two noncampus audits in progress. The office reported completing four follow‑up reviews since May (two fully implemented corrective action plans and two partially implemented), and that it received eight hotline calls through the fraud, abuse and waste line; several calls were handled administratively or referred, with three under active review.
Trustees asked about the significance of findings. When a trustee asked whether any item should cause alarm, Sanchez said there was a single audit with high‑risk issues under follow‑up and that personnel matters were involved. Chief Counsel Priscilla Mata advised that personnel matters are typically discussed in closed session and suggested scheduling a closed‑session agenda item at a future meeting so trustees could receive more detailed information.
Audit staff also described work hours and resource allocation, noted a sample size of 75 used in a noncampus audit where the total population was about 2,300, and said more detail will be provided on error‑rates as follow‑up work completes.
No formal board action was taken on audit findings at the meeting; trustees asked staff to return with additional detail in closed session and to continue follow‑up reviews until corrective actions are complete.
