# Audit and Finance Committee Meeting, November 4, 2026

The Charleston County School District Audit and Finance Committee met on November 4, 2026. The committee approved a fixed-cost-of-ownership budget reallocation to fund a technology refresh at the Garrett campus—including wireless access and classroom boards—and additional project-management and implementation support for the district’s new help-desk service; no amount was stated. It also approved a $1.3 million sales-tax allocation for a West Ashley football-related replacement project, though the transcript does not clearly identify the project’s precise scope. The monthly report noted September revenue collections were $279,000 above revised projections and capital-program expenditures of $98,000 for the 2010–2016 program and $2.3 million for the 2017–2022 program. The report of purchases and contracts over $250,000 primarily reflected first-quarter charter-school distributions and capital-related contracts.

An internal audit of contracted student transportation found that invoice reviews occurred but were not consistently documented, school bus-loading and dismissal procedures were not uniformly documented districtwide, and some vendor complaints lacked timely follow-up records. Management plans to formalize review, escalation, and school-procedure documentation. The committee also reviewed remediation of prior audit findings, including work still underway with procurement and IT on vendor-management contract language and asset tracking. No new contract award or vendor selection was identified.
