Board asks staff for school‑level financial oversight briefing; flags unused AP funds
Summary
The board asked staff to return with a briefing on systems for monitoring school‑level finances and whether policy or training is needed for administrators and bookkeepers; members also asked staff to examine unspent AP (Advance Placement) monies at schools.
Board members raised questions about district systems that monitor school‑level financial practices and whether additional policy or administrative procedures are needed to strengthen financial literacy among school administrators and bookkeepers.
Superintendent’s office staff said they would schedule a workshop and bring school finance officers (including LaVetra Paul and others) to a February 27 meeting to review current practices and solicit board input on possible policy or training changes.
A board member specifically flagged unspent AP (Advanced Placement) funds at some schools and asked staff to include a review of how those monies are tracked and whether funds are being spent for the intended student supports (for example, covering teacher stipends or testing supports). Staff agreed to add that topic to the planned review.
No formal policy changes were adopted at the meeting; staff will return with a briefing and recommendations.
