Canton school board holds executive session to review audit report; no action taken
Summary
The Canton Public School District Board entered executive session April 7 to consider personnel matters and to review a preliminary audit report that may result in litigation; the auditor presented findings and the board returned to open session with no action taken.
The Canton Public School District Board of Trustees entered executive session at its April 7 special meeting to consider personnel matters and to review an audit report that board members said may result in potential litigation.
Mr. Lenderrick Taylor moved to go into a closed determination to consider personnel matters, seconded by Mr. Peter Brown; the motion carried. The board then moved to enter executive session specifically to discuss an audit report that 'may result in potential litigation,' again with Mr. Taylor moving and Mr. Brown seconding; that motion also carried.
During the executive session an auditor (not named in the transcript) addressed the board and shared preliminary findings. The transcript records that no formal action was taken as a result of the auditor’s presentation. After the presentation Mr. Taylor moved and Mr. Brown seconded a motion to return to open session; the board voted unanimously to do so. Chairman Johnny Brown then invited the public back into the meeting and announced that no action had been taken during executive session.
The transcript does not include the auditor’s findings in detail nor does it identify the auditor by name. The board did not announce any follow-up steps or timelines in open session during the recorded portion of the meeting.
