School Town of Speedway auditors cite nonfinancial lapses; administrators say issues fixed
Summary
Administrators told the School Town of Speedway board that a State Board of Accounts audit and an Indiana Department of Education nutrition review turned up nonfinancial compliance issues; officials said they corrected the findings and reported no financial problems.
Administrators reported to the School Town of Speedway board on April 14 that two recent audits produced only nonfinancial findings, all of which were corrected promptly.
Dr. Trebley told trustees the State Board of Accounts spent more than two months reviewing district records and charged the district "just over $50,000" for the work. The audit produced three nonfinancial findings: a missing review process when a Title I student left (the district instituted that process immediately); CO19-funded safety doors at two schools that had not been listed on the district's fixed-asset inventory (the doors were added to the inventory and shown to auditors); and a repeated paperwork shortcoming tied to Davis-Bacon wage-rate requirements for federal-construction contractors (paperwork was provided and procedures reinforced). "We didn't have many findings, which is great news," Dr. Trebley said.
Separately, the Indiana Department of Education reviewed the district's nutrition program, which is contracted with Airmark. Dr. Trebley said auditors found no financial problems but identified operational items that were corrected: one missing free-or-reduced lunch form for a transient student (corrected), an impermissible Airmark charge that the vendor reimbursed, required price adjustments for some meal lines, missing uploaded training documentation for a cafeteria employee, inconsistent portion sizes in a few instances (for example, a fruit cup listed five pineapple pieces but at one point had four), and an outdated food-safety poster that was updated.
Board members did not take formal action on the audit reports; administrators emphasized the corrections and thanked staff for working with auditors.
The board was told there were no financial findings in either review and that district staff had addressed the operational issues. The audits were presented as part of the meeting's regular reports; administrators said they expected continued follow-up and future correspondence from auditors.
