Board approves audits, GAAP engagement and activity handbook; accepts SpyGlass report
Summary
On July 16 the board approved engagement letters for GAAP conversion and external audit, accepted a SpyGlass telecom audit report that estimated modest savings, and approved an updated Student/Athletic Activity Handbook.
The board approved multiple treasurer recommendations on July 16: an engagement letter with Local Government Services for GAAP conversion and an audit engagement letter with Charles E. Harris & Associates, both moved by Tish Kwiatkowski and seconded by Ellen Kramer (motions recorded and carried 5–0).
Operations Coordinator Rachel Blanchette presented findings from a SpyGlass communications audit that identified a small annual savings opportunity (estimated $1,905.60 annually) and a one‑time service cost of $952.80; the audit included an inventory of communications services and potential next steps to reduce telecom and utility costs. The board accepted the SpyGlass presentation; the district will consider follow‑up audits as recommended.
The board also approved an updated Student/Athletic Activity Handbook to standardize procurement, deposits and fundraising procedures for student groups. The handbook clarifies required purchase‑order processes, deposit timing (within one business day), and a requirement that all fundraisers be registered and reconciled through the district’s Givebacks portal.
