CCSD Audit and Finance Committee Meeting | June 3, 2026

The Charleston County School District Audit and Finance Committee met on June 3, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related items. Key topics included reallocating capital maintenance funds from the School of the Arts HVAC project to exterior improvements at St. John's High School, and approving reallocations for furniture and infrastructure improvements at Styles Point Elementary, James Island Charter High School, and D10 Middle School. The committee also reviewed proposed facility rental rate adjustments to maintain a cost-neutral program, with increased rates primarily affecting commercial and non-youth-serving nonprofit groups. Financial reports highlighted revenue tracking slightly above projections and expenditure underruns, with transparency improved via a new online portal. The committee reviewed purchases and contracts over $250,000, noting most were competitively bid construction contracts and insurance renewals. Additionally, an internal audit presentation identified areas for improvement in human resources, employee relations, and business intelligence processes, including user access controls and documentation retention. The meeting also covered enrollment trends, legislative updates on education funding, and out-of-county tuition collections. Motions to approve budget reallocations and rate adjustments were passed unanimously, with contingencies for signed agreements where applicable.
