FY25 Audit Draft Review
The auditors reviewed the FY25 summary of audit results.
Discussion ensued with regard to various aspects of the report: (a) being in compliance with debt ratio; b) draft compliance with DESE; c) enrollment numbers; and comparison with status of neighboring charter schools.
Mr. Yezukevich noted that, insofar as FRCS is in its sixth year the auditing firm, the FinCom is considering issuing an RFP for a different auditing firm or changing partners of the current firm to allow for a different perspective. The subject will be revisited in January. Mr. Yezukevich stated that this action in no way is reflective of dissatisfaction with the firm's good service to FRCS.

Mr. Yezukevich asked that, insofar as the FinCom and Board had previously considered and voted that FRCS opt out of the transportation funding offered by the state, that the subject of transportation funding from the state now be revisited. In light of the fact that half of families utilize regional busing and to lighten the financial burden to families, busing needs to be made available to any family interested
