Wilmette SD 39 staff recommend one‑year audit renewal with Baker Tilly
Summary
District staff told the Committee of the Whole they received engagement documents from Baker Tilly and recommended a one‑year renewal for fiscal year 2026; the transcript records the recommendation but does not show a formal board vote on the engagement letter.
District staff recommended a one‑year renewal of the audit engagement with Baker Tilly for fiscal year 2026, presenting the engagement letter and describing ancillary small audits for workers' compensation payroll classifications and Wixie.
Mrs. Bailey introduced the item and turned the discussion over to Mr. Boltire, who said the district received the engagement documents in early April and recommended approval of Baker Tilly for a one‑year renewal. "I would recommend that we approve Baker Tilly for a one‑year renewal for fiscal year 26," he said. He added that the FY25 audit concluded a three‑year contract and that, if approved, fiscal year 2026 would be the seventh consecutive year the district used Baker Tilly.
Boltire also noted that the engagement includes a small payroll audit requested annually by the district's workers'‑compensation group (a payroll‑by‑employee‑type review) and a separate small audit for Wixie. Board members were given the opportunity to ask questions; none were recorded in the transcript beyond expressions of thanks.
The transcript does not record a formal board vote on the Baker Tilly engagement during this meeting. The recommendation will proceed through the board's regular agenda process if and when a formal motion is placed on a future meeting agenda.
