Clerk told Department of Administration requested more detail on audit corrections; clerk plans handoff and training
Summary
The clerk reported that the Department of Administration rejected the district's initial corrective plan for last year’s audit and asked for a more detailed plan; the clerk said she will help train and support her replacement through the end of the school year.
The Lincoln K-12 Schools clerk told the board the Department of Administration rejected the district’s earlier plan for correcting last year’s audit and requested a more detailed remediation plan and training documentation.
The chair summarized the correspondence and said the district will prepare a more detailed corrective plan and accompanying training materials to ensure the district does not end the year in a negative balance. The clerk also reviewed upcoming election deadlines tied to the May 6 election calendar, including a March 27 petition deadline and April 3 last date for write-ins.
The chair said she plans to return to assist the clerk at the end of May or June and again in August during trustee and budget work. The chair urged the board to consider a pay increase for the clerk at the six-month mark once training is complete.
Why it matters: the Department of Administration request indicates outstanding audit issues that the board must address to preserve fiscal controls and compliance. Board members discussed steps to prepare for the upcoming school-nutrition audit and for election administration tasks.
Next steps: staff will produce a detailed corrective plan in response to the Department of Administration and continue preparatory work for the summer nutrition program and the trustee election calendar.
