Gateway Unified hears independent audit showing two findings on reports and a 30‑day compliance shortfall
Summary
At its open session, the Gateway Unified School District heard its independent audit for the year ended June 30, which the presenter said included two findings: one involving SARC reporting dates and one involving a program that missed a 30‑day requirement by two days, creating an estimated $12,600 exposure covered by locked funds.
The Gateway Unified School District governing board on Tuesday received the district’s independent audit for the year ended June 30 and was told the audit contained two findings.
The audit presenter told the board, “we have 2 findings this year,” and said one finding related to the district’s School Accountability Report Card (SARC) reporting dates for Mountain Lakes and the other was that a program missed a 30‑day calendar requirement by two days. The presenter said the shortfall would result in an approximate exposure of $12,600 and that the district could cover that amount using locked funds.
The presenter said the SARC issue involved inconsistent or incorrect dates recorded in the SARC documents and described steps the district has taken to “set up some new processes” to ensure reporting and approval dates match for future filings. On the other finding, the presenter said calendars had been rechecked and that the district is now “more than sufficient with our 30 days.”
Board members asked clarifying questions but there was no formal board action recorded on the audit presentation during the open session. The presenter described the audit as “a long audit” and thanked district staff for their work preparing materials.
The audit presentation was followed by routine business items including certification notices and staff recognitions from the administration.
Board members and staff indicated the district will continue refining internal controls and calendar checks to address the two findings noted by the independent auditor.
