Summary

Staff said Virginia Department of Education auditors completed an exit interview and will issue a written report in 3–4 weeks; the division will develop a corrective‑action plan and report monthly to VDOE over the next year.

School staff told the committee they had an exit interview with Virginia Department of Education auditors and expect a written report within 3–4 weeks. The school team will work with VDOE to prepare a corrective‑action plan and will submit monthly status reports.

A presenter said, “It was a relatively friendly meeting, and they will be sending out the report, the written report within the next 3 to 4 weeks.” The presenter added that VDOE staff will meet with the division to develop the corrective‑action plan and that much of the work centers on establishing written procedures, particularly in finance and special education.

Committee members asked whether the VDOE corrective action overlaps with issues from a prior forensic audit; staff said they are similar in places but not identical and emphasized the need to document and follow procedures to remain in compliance.

Next steps: staff will produce corrective‑action drafts and convene with VDOE staff for monthly reporting as required; committee members will monitor progress.
