Board reviews financial report; Child Nutrition audit yields five preliminary findings
Summary
Pine Tree ISD presented monthly financials, purchases, budget amendments and donations. The Texas Dept. of Agriculture Child Nutrition audit returned five preliminary findings; the district is appealing three, including a finding that Walker Quality Services is a duplicate service.
Salena Jackson presented the district’s monthly financial report on Feb. 10, outlining disbursements, tax-roll supplements and deletions, and notable purchases and budget amendments. Jackson reported purchases over $50,000, including School Specialty, LLC for $97,423.83, and budget amendments for WQS Consulting Services ($58,200) and ABA Services ($40,000). The district reported $6,720.61 in cash donations and $1,074 in in-kind donations. Jackson noted recent student attendance declines due to flu and other illnesses.
Jackson also updated the board on an ongoing Texas Department of Agriculture Child Nutrition audit. She said the district received five preliminary findings and is appealing three of them. One preliminary finding disallowed Walker Quality Services as a payable expense from Child Nutrition funds because TDA considered it a duplicate service provided by the Education Service Center (ESC). The board moved to approve the financial report as presented; the motion Passed 6–0.
The transcript does not record further details of the appeal strategy or deadlines for TDA review; the district’s appeal status and any corrected findings were not specified at the meeting.
