Granbury commenters press school board to demand forensic audit, reject HCAD budget
Summary
Several Granbury residents asked the Granbury ISD board to disapprove the Hood County Appraisal District budget and to seek a forensic audit dating to 2018, saying excess funds and questionable spending could be recovered for taxing entities.
Several speakers at a Granbury ISD public-comment session urged the school board to disallow the Hood County Appraisal District’s (HCAD) recently adopted budget and to order a forensic audit of HCAD’s finances going back to 2018.
“My request is that the school board disapprove the appraisal district budget by about $500,000,” said an attendee who urged the board to push back on salary increases and other spending. He said HCAD had repeatedly underspent budgeted amounts in recent years and cited roughly $400,000 that he said required audit scrutiny.
