Summary

Chair Patty Sullivan and district auditors agreed bond auditors should present to the full board and the Bond Accountability Committee at a July board work session; the BAC is also updating its charter to reflect obligations from the 2025 bond.

Chair Patty Sullivan told the audit committee she had discussed scheduling with the board chair and that it was decided the bond auditors should present to the full board and the Bond Accountability Committee at a July board work session rather than at a standalone July audit committee meeting. Janice Danson, the district—s internal auditor, said she supported that plan as the best way to have the relevant stakeholders together for the presentation.

Director Split, identified in the meeting as the board—s liaison to the Bond Accountability Committee, said the BAC is updating its charter to reflect obligations stemming from the 2025 bond passage and that the bond audit had recommended changes to that charter. Split invited audit committee members to review the BAC charter update prior to adoption so any items tied to bond‑audit recommendations could be added before the BAC finalizes the charter.

Committee members agreed coordination across committees made sense. No formal action was taken; committee chairs will coordinate schedules and follow up as needed.
