Communications and Items for Review and Discussion Only
3.1. Director of Instructional
Support and Adult Education Director Positions
I have accepted, with regret, the
resignation of Rocky Wallace from the positions of Director of Instructional
Support and Adult Education Director.
Rather than routinely filling those positions, I am taking the time to
thoroughly consider the present and future needs of KEDC’s Instructional
Support efforts including the Adult Education Centers. I have invited and
received input from staff at KEDC and the Adult Education Centers. I am now seeking input from the superintendents
as well as other stakeholders in the Instructional Support programs and
services. I am asking folks to think outside the box and truly help us
identify what schools need to help them go from good to great. I am more
interested in how and what than who right now.
Once the structure and how we will organize is decided then we will start
looking to get the right people in the right spots. TO ASSIST US IN THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT PLEASE COMPLETE THE QUESTIONAIRE
IN YOUR FOLDER.
3.2. Information Regarding Statement
on Auditing Standards (SAS) 112 – Communicating
Internal Control Related Matters Identified in an Audit
A new audit standard (SAS No. 112) went
into effect for audits with periods ending on or after December 15, 2006. In your folders are three documents
explaining SAS No. 112 which is a Statement on Auditing Standards entitled Communication of Internal Control Related Matters Identified in an
Audit that provides guidance to auditors on communicating matters related
to an organization’s internal control over financial reporting that your
auditor may identify during the audit of your district’s financial
statements. Depending on how zealous
your auditor is, you may or may not have heard of this new standard, but you
should be prepared in any case. We will
ask KDE to address this with superintendents and finance officers in the coming
months.
4.
Adjourn
There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned on a motion by Mr. Larry Hammond, seconded by Mr. Steve
Butcher.
