The Hackberry Elementary School District #3 Governing Board on Aug. 12 approved several personnel and policy items, accepted financial vouchers and authorized submission of a completed Auditor General corrective action plan.
The board voted 4-0 to accept the submission of the district's corrective action plan to the Arizona Auditor General after Business Manager Sam Dell reported that all 41 corrective-action items identified by the Auditor General have been implemented. Dell asked the board to approve the submission, and the motion passed unanimously.
