Board reviews Auditor General corrective action progress and awards FY24'FY27 audit contract to CWDL
Summary
Board members reported progress addressing Auditor General findings (20 of 41 items addressed) and unanimously approved a three-event audit contract with CWDL covering FY24'FY27; remaining corrective items will be handled by the business manager.
The Hackberry School District (4371) Governing Board on July 8, 2025 reviewed progress on its Auditor General corrective action plan and approved an auditor contract for fiscal years 2024 through 2027.
Business Manager Sam Dell told the board that 20 of the 41 findings identified by the Auditor General have been addressed through new policies and documented process improvements; he said work continues on the remaining items and that withheld funds remain under review. The board directed Dell to continue addressing outstanding findings.
Separately, the board approved contracting with CWDL for a three-event audit covering FY24'FY27 (RFP 2025.001) on a motion by Pam Adams, seconded by Valerie Grimes; the motion carried 5-0. The meeting minutes identify the auditor only by the acronym "CWDL"; no full firm name or contract dollar amount was provided in the minutes.
Board members noted that documentation and process changes are ongoing; Sam Dell was identified as the staff member responsible for completing the remaining corrective-action items.
Next steps: the business manager will continue to address outstanding Auditor General findings and finalize contract paperwork with the selected auditor; the board scheduled a special meeting for July 14 to continue policy review and other business.
