Board pulls external-auditor appointment to review contract and plans RFP
Summary
Board removed the external-auditor appointment from the consent slate to permit discussion of audit risks and methodologies; board members cited a prior reclassification of roughly $994,000 and directed staff to issue an RFP in the fall.
The Board of Education pulled the external-auditor appointment from the consent list to allow discussion about the current audit contract and the district’s approach to procurement. A board member raised concerns about audit risk, methodology and a substantial reclassification discussed at a prior meeting, stating a figure of roughly $994,000 and asking to meet with the external CPA to discuss methodology and safeguards.
The superintendent confirmed the current contract runs through the 2025–26 school year and said the district will likely issue a request for proposals (RFP) in late September or October to solicit audit firms. Board policy was cited during discussion: the audit committee is the full board, and members proposed that an audit-review conversation precede any contract renewal so the board can evaluate competing approaches and ensure fiscal safeguards.
