FSUS audit shows remediation underway; school reports $54,145 raised for auditorium
Summary
Audit staff told the FSUS board that roughly 75% of Phase I findings have been remediated and Phase II corrective action plans target October 2026; the school also reported $54,145 raised through the Great Give for auditorium improvements and a $55,784 procurement for dual-enrollment tuition.
Audit staff told the FSUS Charter Board on March 10 that the school has remediated most findings from an earlier review and has submitted corrective-action plans for remaining items.
Undra Baldwin, Chief Audit Officer for FSU, and Heather Friend, Director of Audits, reported that about 75% of Phase I audit findings have been remediated to date. Baldwin said corrective-action plans for areas of concern identified in Phase II were submitted by Executive Director Dr. Christopher Small with targeted implementation dates in October 2026. The auditors said another full review of the school is likely in 2028–29.
Dr. Small also reported financial and program updates. FSUS raised $54,145 through FSU’s Great Give initiative; those funds will be used toward improvements to the auditorium and the school continues efforts to engage alumni. He reported the CTE audit was finalized with no findings and noted a single procurement expense over $50,000: $55,784 paid to TSC for dual-enrollment tuition.
Why it matters: The audit update indicates most previously identified compliance issues have been addressed, but Phase II corrective actions and their October 2026 implementation timeline will require continued oversight. The reported procurement and fundraising totals have direct budgetary implications for the school’s programs and facilities.
The board heard the reports and did not vote to alter the corrective-action timelines during the meeting. The session adjourned at 4:50 p.m.
