Background:
|
Following the results of a Risk Assessment of ACPS, the School Board approved funding in the FY2016 Combined-Funds Budget for an internal audit program in the following areas: Procurement, Facilities and Payroll. The School Board awarded a contract to Gibson Consulting Group in spring 2016. The Facilities audit was conducted from April 2017 through August 2017 with substantial completion of the Final Audit Report in October 2017. The audit focused on four major sections: Facilities Planning and Management; Facilities Maintenance; Custodial Services; Grounds Management. Findings and recommendations were based on analysis of data and interviews with school division leadership, Educational Facilities Staff, school principals, custodial and maintenance workers and site visits. Site visits included George Mason Elementary School, Samuel Tucker Elementary School, George Washington Middle School, TC Williams High School, and the ACPS Maintenance Shop.
