El Campo ISD publicly discloses TEA audit finding about a propped door; details to be discussed in closed session
Summary
District officials told the El Campo ISD Board of Trustees that a Texas Education Agency audit found one door propped open at a campus; the board said it would discuss details and any personnel matters in closed session. No further action was taken in open session.
The El Campo Independent School District on Oct. 29 told its Board of Trustees that a Texas Education Agency audit of a campus found one door was propped open, a matter the district is required to announce publicly.
District staff informed trustees that state audit procedures produced a finding concerning a single door left propped open. The board said it must not discuss the campus details in public and that any follow-up or personnel matters would be handled in closed session under Texas Government Code §551.074.
"We received an audit from Texas Education Agency at one of our campuses, and there was a finding," a district representative said during public remarks announcing the TEA finding. "We are required by law to publicly announce that there was a finding." The board said it would discuss the matter in closed session and not disclose specifics in open meeting.
No motion or vote to take remedial steps was made in open session. The announcement satisfied the district's obligation under the Texas Government Code to provide public notice of the audit finding; the board then moved into closed session for further discussion at 6:47 p.m.
The board did not specify which campus was affected or whether the finding will prompt corrective action beyond what is discussed in closed session.
