A formal report was not included in the agenda packet. The committee met last week on the 18th.

In addition, over the next 12 months, the committee plans to review the financial policies and procedures of the school. New members will also be added to the committee from the GLOBE community. Luis said the audit is nearly complete and the audit findings would be presented for consideration by the Board at next month's meeting. 

Motion made by Chip to approve the contract for NorthStar to serve as the vendor for the implementation of the GLOBE's strategic plan. Motion seconded by Luis. Motion approved. The following Board members voted in the affirmative: Sharon, Chip, Aba, Meghann, Luis, Monique, Katie. No one was in opposition. Ryan abstained, noting his work as a consultant for NorthStar. 

Luis noted that DCSD might possibly engage the school to request an additional financial audit. Christi stated that, as of now, no request has been made and Sharon said that in a meeting of Board chairs from other schools, DCSD indicated it would be more of an information gathering effort rather than a full-fledged audit. A discussion was held about the implications of DCSD formally requesting to conduct an audit and any possible responses to that request.
