Board asks staff for workshop on school‑level financial monitoring and AP fund use
Summary
Board members asked district staff to present current systems that monitor school‑level financial practices and to explore policies or procedures that would enhance financial literacy for school administrators and bookkeepers; board members also requested review of unspent AP funds at schools.
Board members asked for a workshop and documentation on systems that monitor financial practices at the school level and whether a new policy or administrative procedure is needed to improve financial literacy among school administrators and bookkeepers.
The superintendent said staff would set up a conversation with finance staff (including LaVetra Paul and Ms. Sanders) for a February workshop. Board members asked that the presentation include current controls, monitoring frequency, and recommendations to tighten oversight.
One board member also requested a focused review of unspent AP (Advanced Placement) funds at schools to ensure those dollars are spent on intended items—teacher compensation, exam fees or student supports—and to report whether district schools have substantial year‑end surpluses that could be redirected.
Staff agreed to schedule the workshop and to bring documentation of current practices; no policy changes were adopted at the meeting.
