Camdenton R-III board approves final 2024–25 single audit; segregation-of-duties corrective action remains

The Camdenton R-III School District Board of Education approved the district’s final 2024–25 single audit during a special session on Jan. 29, 2026.

District representative Speaker 3 said the audit was delayed because a federal government shutdown pushed back required Title I and special education (SPED) testing. According to Speaker 3, the State of Missouri extended the audit deadline to Jan. 30 to accommodate that delay, and the district received the finalized audit about a week and a half before the meeting.

“We had to go through and do some tests of, you know, how do we verify where all of our federal funds come from,” Speaker 3 said, adding that the district met testing requirements for both Title and SPED programs. Speaker 3 also noted there were no surprising findings in the final report.

The representative reiterated an existing corrective action plan addressing segregation of duties in the district’s financial processes. “That’s been something we’re gonna continue to look at even with the redistribution of some of the duties in the office too,” Speaker 3 said.

Speaker 2 moved to approve “the final audit documents, including the single audit report from 2024–25 as provided.” Speaker 5 seconded the motion, and the board approved the documents by voice vote.

The board did not announce further operational changes during the meeting beyond continuing work on segregation-of-duties controls. The district’s next procedural step on audit follow-up was not specified in the record of the special session.
