Elite charter reports progress, but CDE seeks more data on 2023‑24 audit findings
Summary
The board received an update on Elite charter school: athletics and summer programs were highlighted, but staff said CDE sent findings from the 2023‑24 audit that require additional corrective documentation and that Elite's attorney is engaged with CDE.
Jess Banes Wright reported on Elite charter operations and oversight. She described athletic and summer plans, noted Elite's CAST testing and upcoming promotion and graduation events, and walked trustees through the oversight reporting matrix showing submitted documents (master schedule, staffing lists, P2 apportionment and monthly cash flows).
When trustees asked about a referenced audit, Banes Wright said Elite reported it is working with the California Department of Education to resolve 2023‑24 audit findings and that the school’s attorney has communicated with CDE. Staff said there are no past items due at this time and that they will follow up if additional corrective documentation or reporting is required.
Trustees requested clarification on the audit findings and any potential impacts on apportionment; staff said they will report back with further information as it becomes available.
