It sounds to me the board is approaching it the correct way. If they used the school system's own employees to review the audit's claims, no one would have trusted their results. You St Georgeistas would have been (correctly) saying it was going to be a cover up if the same people who made the screw ups were going to be the ones reviewing the screw ups.
I agree, the School Board should do their own review, and if the supt. doesn't trust his own people then he should go outside of his system and get a CPA firm involved.
Meanwhile, however; how hard would it be for the supt. to investigate for himself the records of the students who supposedly graduated that didn't have the proper grades/credits? Wouldn't that allow him to get a quick answer as to the legitimacy of the bigger charges? Wouldn't that let him know whether or not he had some rotten apples in his system?
It would not give him all the information that he needs, but it wouldn't be hard to determine if the audit has merit, or it was completely bogus, right?

No surprise there. By my count this is the second time the SG organizers have gone MIA from a meeting where they could have voiced their concerns and scored points for their "cause." What are they scared of? What are they hiding? WHY are they hiding?!?
So once again SG is hiding, or not doing their civic duty so we are to assume now that they are a bogus entity and should go away????
They voiced their concerns in the newspaper. Maybe they didn't feel like voicing their concerns in front of a kangaroo court, or in front of a body who is part of the problem? Ask them, but their failure to show has nothing to do with the problems at hand but I'm sure you'll try to spin it that way.

And to Poodle who asked how long will the board take to answer the state's audit, the school board is required to report its corrective action plan to the state by April 4. That has been reported numerous times. I guess tax season has you too busy to keep up with the facts
We shall see if the school system meets that deadline. If they can't we know who will be to blame, right?

I think it is pretty clear there as a student who graduated without having enough of the credits. I don't think that is in dispute.
It's all these other file irregularities that need further investigation.
Honestly, my best guess it that this is a personnel issue at a few badly run schools. They should use the results of these audits to make whatever changes are necessary in staffing to make the system work.
What they will probably do is add an extra level of review at the central office. Not a bad idea, but I hate adding extra levels of bureaucracy in response to employees not doing their job.

ETA: Besides, what if the discrepancies occurred with the superintendent's blessing and/or knowledge. Would you still think he should do the review himself???
It's apparent you've never had any experience in auditing any records or work performed by other people.
I have. Rule #1 is to never allow someone to audit their own work or any work they are responsible for.
