Arthur Academy appeals district audit; board to respond with staff review
Summary
Arthur Academy sent letters contesting a district audit and asked the board to reconsider. Board members said the district met contractual and statutory requirements; the chair will craft a response with staff review and will CC the board.
Gresham — The board discussed correspondence from Arthur Academy contesting the outcome of a district finance/audit review and asking the board to revisit the district’s findings.
Directors said the audit followed the contract and statutory requirements and that changing contract terms would require board-level action. The district’s business services team completed the audit and delivered results; Arthur Academy disagreed with methodology and requested reconsideration.
The chair said he would draft a careful reply and consult staff (Tracy and Sarah) and possibly OSBA counsel before sending; he will CC board members on the finished letter. Several directors cautioned that an ad hoc board reply that contradicts staff findings could undermine the staff-led process and contract terms.
Next steps: chair to prepare a response for staff review, copy the board, and consider involving OSBA counsel if the board decides to take up the matter further.
