PCSD board adopts livestreaming policy and approves September financial report
Summary
At its Nov. 20 meeting the board approved a second-reading streaming policy to require live streaming of board meetings (except executive sessions) and accepted the September 2025 financial report and audit update; trustees asked follow-up questions about fund balances and data releases.
The South Carolina Public Charter School District board voted Nov. 20 to adopt a revised board meeting streaming policy and approved the district’s September 2025 financial report and audit update.
Deputy Superintendent (presentation) told trustees the streaming-policy revision implements recent legislation requiring all board meetings, committees, workshops and public hearings (excluding executive sessions) be live-streamed and encourages closed captioning to increase transparency. The board took the item on second reading, moved and seconded the motion and approved the policy.
On finance, Deputy Superintendent Nick Michael presented the September financial report and an audit update. Michael said district revenue through Sept. 30 exceeded $55 million and that the district recorded a small year-to-date net loss attributable to front-loaded expenditures; the October report was expected to show a monthly and year-to-date increase. He also reported the district’s FY2025 annual financial audit draft would be submitted to the state by the December 1 deadline; the independent auditor issued a clean, unmodified opinion with no audit findings and reported a general fund balance increase of $944,000.
Trustees moved and seconded a motion to approve the September 2025 financial report as recommended by staff; the board voted in favor.
