Audit Committee Meeting - April 23, 2026

The Savannah Chatham County Public School Audit Committee convened on April 23, 2026, to review several audit reports and discuss amendments to the audit plan. Key procurement-related discussions included the audit of travel practices, which received a satisfactory rating but identified minor internal control weaknesses such as missing documentation and inconsistent oversight. Recommendations were made to strengthen compliance through superintendent directives, checklists, pre-audit reviews, and targeted training. The committee also reviewed the SPLASS (East-West) project expenditure audit for the year ended June 30, 2025, which found no issues and confirmed compliance with state law requirements. Additionally, the committee approved an amendment to the audit plan to shift focus from non-traditional student audits to alternative learning centers, aiming to assess instructional strategies and program quality. Motions to accept the travel audit, SPLASS expenditure audit, and audit plan amendment were all passed unanimously. The meeting also included updates on management action reports and the introduction of a new electronic board agenda system, Diligent, to improve document accessibility.
