Board authorizes president and superintendent to sign Louisiana Compliance Questionnaire
Summary
The board authorized President Dennis E. Allen and Superintendent Jerry Morton to sign the 2026–27 Louisiana Compliance Questionnaire and submit it to Adair & Alford, the board's independent auditor; staff described it as an annual audit requirement.
Chassity, a staff member, told the board June 17 that the Louisiana Compliance Questionnaire is an annual external-audit process requiring a resolution and certification that the district complies with budget, bid and ethics laws. "This is an annual process that we have to do for our external audit," Chassity said, adding that the board should authorize Dr. E. Allen and Superintendent Morton to sign the questionnaire and submit it to the independent auditor Adair & Alford.
A motion was made to authorize President Dennis E. Allen and Superintendent Jerry Morton to sign the 2026–27 Louisiana Compliance Questionnaire; no second by name was recorded and the motion was carried following the board vote.
Why it matters: the questionnaire is part of the district's external audit procedures and affirms compliance with applicable budgetary and procurement laws.
Next steps: staff will prepare the resolution and the questionnaire for signatures and submission to the independent auditor.
