05.15.2026 Audit Committee Meeting

The School District of Palm Beach County Audit Committee convened on May 15, 2026, to review several audit reports and procurement processes. Key procurement-related discussions included the internal funds audit for fiscal year 2025, highlighting issues with disbursement documentation, vendor compliance, and fundraising activities across schools. The committee also reviewed a five-year trend analysis of internal funds audits, noting persistent control deficiencies primarily at the elementary school level. Additionally, an audit of charter bus contracts revealed compliance issues such as drivers lacking required ID badges and equipment problems, leading to a motion to table further discussion for a future meeting. The committee also examined the procurement process for a large construction contract (CMAR for North Tech Aid Center), finding no non-compliance with the RFP evaluation procedures and approving the audit report. Motions to approve the internal funds audit report and the construction procurement audit were passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with scheduling reminders and adjournment.
