The Board asked when we were due for the next State Board of Accounts Audit.  Mrs. Payton stated that we are currently due and could be at any time.  She shared that during the next audit, we should hear about how we are doing in regard to cleaning up the Adult Education errors found during the last audit period.  

It was asked if the audit included the high school division as well as adult education.  Mrs. Payton shared that they are both audited, but the only area that is not audited is ECA division.  It was the consensus of the Board that an outside audit of ECA should probably be done next year.
