State audit finds no material weaknesses; district notes federal-award review and upcoming accountability audit
Summary
District staff reported a clean state audit with no significant deficiencies, reviewed that the single-audit covered about $750,000 in federal awards, and said the audit cost roughly $26,000; an accountability audit next year is estimated at about $46,000 and may focus on food services.
District staff told the board that the recent state-auditor review produced no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses for financial statements and selected federal-award programs.
A staff member said the single-audit covered approximately $750,000 in federal awards and included examinations of special-education and preschool special-education records. "We had a really clean audit," the staff member said, and thanked the district's financial director for her work. Staff reported the audit took roughly 2.5 months and cost about $26,000. The district expects an accountability audit next year — which will include a sampled program review (potentially food services) — and estimated the cost of that audit at about $46,000.
Board members asked whether the audit reviews nutrition program compliance and how the federal compliance review operates; staff explained the federal compliance work includes civil-rights practices and recordkeeping as well as program-specific checks. The board thanked financial staff for a thorough audit outcome.
