Audit Committee Meeting - June 25, 2026

The Spanish Chattam County Public School Audit Committee convened on June 25, 2026, to review and approve the audit of the district's one-to-one student technology access program. The audit highlighted strengths such as operational support and device access but identified areas needing improvement, including inconsistent district-wide governance, incomplete device loan documentation, and insufficient inventory reconciliation controls. Recommendations included establishing standardized processes for device accountability and developing a detailed multi-year device replacement plan. The committee also discussed upcoming audits for fiscal year 2027, including program management of the East Bluffs capital project, contract compliance down to subcontractors, and technology access controls related to new hires. The audit plan was adopted unanimously. Additionally, the committee noted the impact of Senate Bill 369 on future technology device purchases and reporting requirements. The meeting emphasized the importance of strengthening procurement oversight, contract management, and technology lifecycle planning to ensure effective use of district resources and compliance with state regulations.
