Board seeks corrective actions after State Auditor General finds six operational issues, including safety and contractor oversight
Summary
Chair Marietera Rojas presented H12 directing the superintendent to submit corrective actions, policy revisions and a status update by June 3, 2026 in response to six operational findings from the State Auditor General covering records, drills, threat‑assessment team training, background checks, ethical‑conduct training and contractor controls.
Chair Marietera Rojas opened H12 by summarizing the State of Florida Auditor General’s operational audit and asking the superintendent to return with finalized corrective actions and any recommended policy or procedure revisions by June 3, 2026. “All of the findings are important to address,” Rojas said, singling out three findings affecting safety and security.
Board members emphasized oversight and timelines. Dr. Gallon and several colleagues offered cosponsorship and said a proactive board response demonstrates accountability to the public. Board member Blanco urged attention to threat‑assessment team training and documentation.
The superintendent acknowledged the findings and said the district has been active in threat‑management training and will continue to strengthen timely completion and documentation. Auditing staff thanked the audit team and confirmed actions are underway to address contractor‑payment controls and documentation of background screening and ethical‑conduct training.
The committee voted to recommend H12 to the full board. The superintendent and administration will provide a progress report with corrective‑action details and proposed policy updates by the June 3, 2026 deadline.
Next steps: staff will prepare the corrective‑action report and bring policy/revision proposals to the board for review.
