What's Being Discussed

• Approval of past meeting minutes from the June 18, 2026 Audit Committee meeting.
• Use of Facilities Audit — The Internal Audit Office will present findings on how the Department of Education uses its facilities. The Department will also provide an update on steps it has taken to address any issues found in the audit.
• Internal Audit Charter update — The committee will review and consider changes to the document that governs how the Internal Audit Office operates.

Decisions Expected

• A vote to approve the June 18, 2026 meeting minutes.
• A vote on the updated Internal Audit charter, which sets the rules and scope for how audits of the Department of Education are conducted.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Parents, students, and educators interested in how public school facilities are being managed and maintained.
• Taxpayers and community members who want to know whether the Department of Education is addressing audit findings and correcting problems.
• Anyone interested in government accountability, as the Internal Audit charter shapes how independently and effectively the audit process works.
