Presenter: Final construction audit for RSU 39 project remains pending amid DOE staffing delays
Summary
Presenter said the final audit for a district construction project is not complete because of Department of Education staffing changes and scheduling; the district has provided materials and must await the DOE finance office to finish its review before official closeout.
During the financial update the presenter reported that the final audit for a district construction project remains outstanding and tied the delay to staffing changes at the Department of Education. “We’re still waiting for the completion of the final audit, and they’ve had some staff changes at the DOE again,” the presenter said.
A board member asked whether the DOE audit was supposed to be scheduled within the school year; the presenter replied that audits are scheduled “whenever they can schedule it” and that the district had submitted the requested materials and paid the last bill a year ago.
The presenter described the DOE review as a fiscal audit focused on verifying appropriate spending and said district staff have been providing monthly documentation to support the audit. The district will not have an official project closeout until the DOE finance staff completes its review, according to the presenter.
No vote or formal deadline was recorded in the meeting minutes for the audit completion; the presenter said the district will continue to provide documentation and await DOE scheduling.
