Schools submit corrective-action plans to address extracurricular account findings
Summary
Staff presented corrective-action letters from schools addressing findings in extracurricular activity fund audits (ledger completeness, delayed deposits). The district will file the letters with the State Education Department and staff will provide follow-up training and checks to monitor implementation.
Audit staff told the committee they had collected corrective-action letters from each extraclass activity fund (high school, LACS, Boon and Wit) addressing audit findings for the 2024''2025 extracurricular funds audits. Staff said many findings result from turnover among advisers and student treasurers and cited common issues such as delayed deposits and incomplete ledgers.
Why it matters: Improper handling of receipts and incomplete ledger records can hamper fiscal accountability for school activity funds. Staff said the letters document each school's planned corrections and will be filed with the State Education Department to close the 2024''2025 audit period.
Follow-up and training: Committee members asked how the district will verify implementation. Staff said internal controls will be strengthened through targeted training for advisers and student treasurers and by building checks and balances into monitoring processes; staff agreed to follow up during the school year and report progress to the committee.
Next steps: The corrective-action letters will be filed with SED; staff will schedule training and periodic check-ins to confirm schools implement the plans.
