Summary
The East Grand Forks Public School Dist. Board awarded a contract for independent auditing services to Brady Martz for fiscal year 2025 and approved K–12 payments totaling $1,219,713.41 during its meeting; both actions passed by voice vote.
The East Grand Forks Public School District Board of Education voted to award the district's fiscal year 2025 independent auditing contract to Brady Martz and approved payment of K'12 claims and electronic fund transfers totaling $1,219,713.41.
Board members present announced a quorum at the start of the meeting. A motion to approve the independent auditing services contract, as recommended in the board packet, passed on a voice vote after brief discussion about cost differences between finalists.
The board then approved payment of K'12 bills numbered 128763 through 128856 and the listed electronic fund transfers in the amount of $1,219,713.41. Board members voted to adopt the consent agenda earlier in the meeting by voice vote.
Superintendent Grover and other administrators described the audit-selection process as primarily coming down to cost after vetting that both finalist firms met qualifications. The motion language in the meeting record did not identify a named mover or seconder for the audit contract or the payment motion; both carried on voice votes.
Other routine business taken during the session included approval of the meeting agenda and adjournment by voice vote. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript for these motions.
The board's next regular meeting was announced for Feb. 24, 2025, with a work session to follow.
