Sun Prairie Area School District reports full compliance on financial administration (OE-6)

Sun Prairie Area School District Superintendent Brad Saron and Director of Business and Finance Phil Frey told the school board that the district met all 32 measures in Operational Expectation 6 (financial administration), and that artifacts supporting each measure are available to the board and community.

Operational Expectation 6 covers the district's financial controls and reporting. Phil Frey said the items include meeting payroll and paying debts on time, following the district purchasing policy (including bidding), completing and publishing the district audit, collecting and accounting for funds, and filing required federal, state and local financial reports. "We are in compliance with its expectations," Saron said. Frey added: "32 compliance measures in o e 6, all 32 are in compliance as Brad said. So that's great."

The presenters said the district maintains documentation tied to each OE-6 measure. Frey noted that the annual audit is scheduled to be presented to the school board on January 27. They also said the district continuously monitors expenditures and looks for efficiencies in budgeting practices. Staff described using analytics through Forecast5 to compare the district's spending to peer districts. Frey invited board members and the public to review linked artifacts and to ask questions at the next board meeting.

No formal motions or votes were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt; the item was presented as a monitoring report and call for questions. The presentation emphasized compliance evidence (audit reports, bid reports and other artifacts), routine filing with government agencies, and ongoing efforts to streamline budgeting and financial reporting.
