District weighs CISA business-services proposal after finance director's departure; board discusses posting vacancy
Loading...
Summary
After Finance Director Laura announced she is leaving May 5, the board reviewed a CISA proposal that was $2,800 higher than current costs, debated posting the open position, and asked staff to negotiate the quote and clarify which duties could be handled internally.
The committee discussed options to fill the district's business-services needs after Finance Director Laura's announced departure on May 5. A presenter described a CISA quote that was about "$2,800" higher than current costs and said CISA recommended two days per week on-site through the end of the school year until systems are assessed.
Board members asked whether duties now performed by Lisa and Tiffany could reduce the overall CISA cost, and the presenter said staff had indicated they could cover some tasks. The presenter said she would negotiate further with CISA and attempt to reduce the difference.
Members debated whether to post the open position while awaiting CISA's on-site evaluation. One member asked whether posting and then electing not to hire would be permissible; staff said it was allowable. The board directed staff to bring a recommendation back to the monthly meeting, and several members said it would be acceptable to post internally first per hiring protocol.
The discussion also touched on whether CISA or a district representative would attend monthly meetings to present an audit overview, and the presenter said CISA could provide that support if included in the contract.
