Summary
The Albuquerque Public Schools Audit Committee on Jan. 27 heard a status update on district and Doran Community Charter Schools external audits for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, and voted to convene an executive session to discuss the federal single-audit exit conference and limited personnel matters.
The Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education Audit Committee voted Jan. 27 to convene an executive session to discuss the exit conference for the district’s federal single-audit programs and related limited personnel matters, after receiving a brief status update from the district’s finance staff.
Chief Financial Officer Renette Apodaca opened the item, noting the status update covered Albuquerque Public Schools and the William W. and Josephine Doran Community Charter Schools audits for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, and then said she would "hand it over to Mark Turnbull and also our external auditors for this presentation." The auditors requested that the committee go into closed session to discuss the audit exit conference.
Board member Courtney Jackson moved the committee convene an executive session “as authorized by the Open Meetings Act (Section 10-15-1(H)(2)) and NMAC 2.2.2.10(J)(3) to discuss limited personnel matters pertaining to the exit conference for the federal single audit programs of Albuquerque Public Schools and to discuss limited personnel matters in connection with activity fund audits.” Sarah Shonka McCoy seconded the motion.
A roll-call vote followed. The members recorded as present voted in favor and the chair announced the motion carried; the committee recessed to executive session and said it would reconvene in open session afterward.
No substantive details of the audit findings, recommendations, or personnel matters were discussed on the public record; the committee’s stated purpose for the executive session was the exit conference for the federal single-audit programs and related limited personnel matters. The meeting record shows the committee took formal action only to adopt the meeting agenda earlier in the session and to authorize the executive session; no other formal decisions were made in open session during the portion of the meeting reflected in the transcript.
The Audit Committee met Jan. 27, 2026. The fiscal year subject to the audit is listed as ending June 30, 2025. The committee indicated it would return to open session following the executive session to continue public business.
