Somers board accepts internal audit, corrective action plan and approves school lunch budget

The Somers Central School District Board of Education approved routine consent items — including warrant reports, personnel agenda items and recommendations from the CSC and CPSC meetings — accepted the district’s internal audit and corrective action plan for the 2024–25 school year, and approved the school lunch budget for the next school year.

During the meeting a district staff member identified as Chris summarized the agenda items, saying, “Nothing too exciting on the agenda. Just a couple of our bids that we put out there for, our buildings and grounds departments and then the internal audit report from the for the 2425 school year and the corrective action plan, and then the school lunch budget for next year.” When asked whether there were concerns, Chris said, “The audit went well. Just a couple minor recommendations like they always have. It was on payroll and personnel this year.”

Board members moved and seconded the consent agenda items and approved them by voice vote; the transcript records the votes as “So moved. Second.” and “All in favor? Aye.” Individual roll-call votes were not read into the record. The meeting record does not include the text of the audit report or the corrective action plan beyond the staff summary, nor does it provide line-item details of the school lunch budget in the public transcript.

The board’s acceptance of the internal audit triggers the district’s corrective-action steps as described in the audit materials; the meeting transcript notes that minor recommendations were made in payroll and personnel but does not list the corrective actions’ specifics. The school lunch budget was approved as part of the business consent agenda; detailed budget figures and program-level funding sources were not specified in the transcript.
