The plans are attached to the agenda. Nancy Kennedy made the motion to approve the school lands trust plans. Carrie Ann Johnson seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Recommendation for Internal and Independent Audit The district audit committee, after reviewing proposals from various firms recommended that the Board approve Wiggins and Company for the 2015-16 independent audit. It is also recommended that Tom Kotter be appointed as the internal auditor for the 2016-17 year. This will bring the district into compliance with SB 93 S2 (UCA 53a-30a102) regarding the requirement to establish an internal audit program for districts with enrollment of over 10,000 students. The second half of the motion complies with (UCA 51-2a-201) which requires an annual audit of the school district by an external independent auditor. A solicitation for proposals from Audit Firms was received and evaluated by the audit committee on May 5, 2016. The committee unanimously recommends Wiggins and Company be appointed for another year with up to a four-year annual renewal. This legally authorizes both auditors to start their work. This would also be an appropriate time for the Board to give directions for review of any areas of focus for the audits. If the items may be of a sensitive nature, they can be sent to Rod or directly to the auditors by email. Connie Archibald made the motion to appoint the internal and independent auditors as recommended. Bryan Smith seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

The list for school visits was passed around so board members could sign up and report on past visits. President Capener announced that there would be a special board meeting on July 6 to interview applicants to fill the board vacancy that will be left by the resignation of Carrie Ann Johnson.
