Summary
District audit committee reported a generally positive audit packet and suggested additional testing areas, including a recommended audit of concussion protocols and continued targeted testing areas highlighted by external auditors.
The Homer Central School District audit committee on May 27 reported receipt of the auditor's packet and identified a set of recommended follow-up tests, including one new suggestion: an audit of the district’s concussion protocols.
A committee representative said the auditor shared a written report and action items that were included in the meeting packet. The committee noted the district had not been cited on extracurricular ("extraclass") audit items for the first time in 13 years and described that as a positive result of staff work.
"They did give some recommendations ... One of the areas they brought up that was not of a financial look ... they talked about doing an audit of concussion protocols in the district," the committee representative said. The speaker said the auditor offered to perform that review and that the committee would share the suggestion with district administrators Matt Priest and Jeff Sears for consideration.
The auditors also identified roughly 16 other areas for additional testing, including routine items such as fuel-pump usage. The audit committee reported it will pass recommendations to appropriate administrators for follow-up; no formal board action on a concussion protocol audit was recorded at the meeting.
The committee emphasized the staff work that produced the clean extracurricular audit finding and said it will coordinate with district administrators on which proposed additional tests to pursue.
No implementation timeline or budget for additional audits was recorded during the meeting.
