Hackberry board updates Auditor General corrective action plan, awards audit contract to CWDL
Summary
The board reported progress on an Auditor General corrective action plan—20 of 41 findings addressed—and voted to award a three-event audit contract covering FY24–27 to CWDL.
The Hackberry Elementary School District #3 Governing Board reviewed progress on its Auditor General corrective action plan and approved a contract award to CWDL for a three-event audit covering fiscal years 2024–2027 at its July 8, 2025 meeting.
Business Manager Sam Dell told the board that 20 of the 41 findings identified in the Auditor General report have been addressed through new policies and procedures; he said documentation and additional process improvements remain in progress and that he will continue work on unresolved items. The minutes reference withheld funds in the Auditor General context but do not state an amount.
Separately, the board approved proceeding with CWDL for RFP 2025.001, a three-event audit contract for FY24–27, with future RFPs planned for subsequent years; the motion was recorded as Passed 5–0.
Why it matters: Addressing Auditor General findings is a compliance priority for school districts; selecting an auditor for multiple fiscal years is a procedural step toward completing outstanding audit requirements and restoring full compliance.
Next steps: Sam Dell will continue to address remaining corrective-action items and the district will proceed with the CWDL audit schedule per the awarded contract.
