Board accepts clean 2024‑25 audit, approves consent calendar (item 9.1 pulled)
Summary
The board received a 2024‑25 audit with an unmodified opinion from Christie White Inc. and approved the financial audit and the consent calendar (minus pulled item 9.1) by roll call; auditors reported no findings on financial statements, federal awards, or state awards.
Deputy Superintendent Jennifer Stahlheber introduced the district’s required independent financial audit for 2024‑25. Michael Ash of Christie White Inc., the district’s auditor, presented the report and summarized the opinion: an unmodified (clean) audit opinion on financial statements, single‑audit testing of federal awards (child nutrition cluster), and state awards testing showed no findings.
Ash said the report was later than usual because the federal OMB compliance supplement was delayed; after reviewing the report the audit committee and auditors found no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and no material instances of noncompliance.
Trustees moved to approve the financial audit as presented. Trustee Michelle Sutherland made the motion and Trustee Rochelle Price seconded. The clerk called the roll and the board approved the audit by unanimous roll call.
Separately, the board moved to remove agenda item 9.1 from the consent calendar for placement on the March agenda, then approved the remainder of the consent calendar in one motion (motion by Trustee Rochelle Price, second by Trustee Derek Counter) and approved it by roll call.
Actions recorded at the meeting (as stated on the record): - Motion to approve the consent calendar except item 9.1: moved by Trustee Rochelle Price; seconded by Trustee Derek Counter; roll call vote recorded as yes from Nikki Telles, Rochelle Price, Tiffany Sadoff, Michelle Sutherland, Derek Counter, Julie Hupp. - Motion to approve the 2024‑25 financial audit as presented: moved by Trustee Michelle Sutherland; seconded by Trustee Rochelle Price; roll call vote recorded as yes from Nikki Telles, Michelle Price (note: name spelled in roll call), Tiffany Sadoff, Michelle Sutherland, Derek Counter, Julie Hupp.
What happens next: the district will continue normal audit reporting processes and implementation of any procedural improvements identified internally; no audit findings were reported that required corrective action to external agencies.
