2026-2027 Internal Audit Plan & Security Personnel | NEISD Board Meeting - 08.24.26

The North East Independent School District (NEISD) Board meeting on August 24, 2026, focused primarily on internal audit updates and the approval of the 2026-2027 internal audit plan. The internal audit department presented 11 completed audit reports and discussed ongoing audits, including middle school campus audits and a JROTC review. The board reviewed the risk-based audit planning model used to prioritize audits based on factors such as cash handling, budget size, and personnel changes. The proposed audit plan for the upcoming school year included required annual audits (e.g., superintendent review, PECARD program, employee conflict of interest), audits of high schools, middle schools, magnet programs, and unannounced campus visits. The board unanimously approved the internal audit plan. Additionally, the board approved a resolution to continue the use of campus safety specialists under a good cause exception, allowing the district to maintain its current security personnel program. Other agenda items included personnel appointments and school health advisory council member appointments, with motions passed accordingly.
