Board reappoints Silva Serene & Associates LLC as district auditor for FY2026 at $75,400 cap
Summary
Trustees designated Silva Serene and Associates LLC as the independent auditors for fiscal year 2026 with a contract not to exceed $75,400; trustees discussed rotation practices and value before approving the appointment unanimously.
At the March 10 meeting the Carson City School District Board of Trustees designated Silva Serene and Associates LLC as the district’s independent auditor for fiscal year 2026 under the budgeted amount "not to exceed $75,400," as required by NRS 354.624.
Mr. Windward presented the item and confirmed the $75,400 figure, saying the amount represented a roughly $2,900 increase from the previous engagement and remains competitive. "75,400 is the correct amount," he said, noting the firm’s experience serving nearby districts and schools. Trustees asked about auditor rotation and the district’s prior informal review; Windward explained public-sector auditing practice differs from corporate rotation requirements and noted the firm’s familiarity with state auditing standards.
Trustee Clapham moved to approve the auditor designation and Trustee Peterson seconded. After a brief opportunity for public comment (none spoke on this item) the board approved the contract by unanimous voice vote.
