Board approves consent items and travel; audit summary read with no material weaknesses reported
Summary
During the April 16, 2025 Woodland Hills School District legislative meeting, the board approved multiple consent agenda items by motion, approved travel for Dr. Joe Malishnick to the PARSS conference, and heard a summary of audit schedule-of-findings that reported no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.
The Woodland Hills School District Board of Directors voted on consent agenda items and a travel authorization and heard an audit findings summary at its April 16, 2025 legislative meeting.
A motion to approve the consent agenda (which grouped multiple items and excluded several specific items for separate consideration) was moved by Melanie Timbers and seconded by Laura Artrell. The transcript records the motion and subsequent voting activity; one recorded outcome later in the meeting indicates the motion "Motion passes 6 to 2." The transcript does not list each individual consent item vote-by-name in the public segment provided, but it does show the board worked through grouping and electronic voting for the consent package.
The board also considered and approved registration and travel costs for Dr. Joe Malishnick to attend the 2025 PARSS conference at State College, scheduled April 30-May 2, 2025. A motion to approve the travel was made and seconded during new business; the transcript records the outcome as "passes 8 to 0." (The transcript contains one earlier spoken tally that reads "8 to 1," and later shows the motion passing; the meeting record as provided is inconsistent about the spoken tally. The article reports the recorded final passage as indicated in the meeting transcript.)
During new business the board heard a summary of the district's audit schedule of findings. The presenter summarized that internal control over financial reporting had no material weaknesses and no significant deficiencies identified; noncompliance in material financial statements was noted as none; internal control for a major program showed no material weaknesses; and required audit disclosures and findings were reported as none. After the summary, board members expressed thanks to staff named in the transcript ("Job well done, Barbara" and thanks to "Edmentina").
The meeting concluded with routine adjournment procedures; the transcript records a request for permission to adjourn but does not include a final recorded vote on that item in the excerpt provided.
