Florence Unified board accepts FY 2024 audited financials; holds first reading on two policy revisions
Summary
Trustees accepted the district's FY 2024 audited financial statements by verbal roll call and reviewed two personnel policy updates in a first reading; one policy will return with a narrower edit, the other will be replaced due to outdated No Child Left Behind language.
The Florence Unified School District governing board accepted the district's audited financial statements for fiscal year 2024 by verbal roll‑call vote and conducted a first reading of two policy updates at a regular meeting.
A district staff member told the board the audit files were late in the process but complete, noting, "By state statute requirement, the governing board is required to accept the audited financials via roll call vote." The staff member said the audit deadline was March 31 and that paper and digital packets were available for review.
A motion to accept the audited financials for fiscal year 2024 was moved and seconded during the meeting. The transcript records verbal affirmations indicating the board accepted the audited financials via a roll‑call process; individual vote names and counts were not recorded in the meeting transcript.
Board members also reviewed two policy revisions in a first reading. Staff described an intended change to GCA‑RA: a drafting error had applied a strike‑all edit when only subsection (a) should be removed; the policy will return on the next agenda with that narrower edit. Staff also recommended a strike‑all revision to GCA‑RB because it contains outdated references to the No Child Left Behind Act that are not pertinent to current state Department of Education practice. Both policy changes were presented for first reading; no final board action was taken on either policy at this meeting.
The staff member said the auditors would return next November for the next routine audit cycle and reiterated that the board must formally accept the prior fiscal year's audited financials in the minutes.
No dollar figures or named auditor firm contact information were provided in the transcript.
