Legislative Panel To Discuss School Audits
Associated Press - Fri 06:29 AM 07/06/2012
Audits generally have found that districts could save money
A legislative oversight committee is scheduled to consider seeking additional audits of Kansas school district operations and a new review of the cost to implement national education standards.
The Legislative Post Audit Committee has asked the state's independent auditing staff to review school district operations over recent years, looking for ways to help districts find efficiencies in spending and organization.
The audits generally have found that districts could save money by purchasing supplies in bulk and by modifying the way their academic schedules are assembled.
Committee members will meet Tuesday in Topeka to discuss future audits, as well as the need to determine how much additional money it will cost schools to implement new national academic standards.
The changes, developed by a coalition of states, seek to provide common expectations.

What they should be looking for are all the positions that are being paid for that are unnessary. Salina school system is a big violator of employing to many people in high paying non teaching positions. Further there are to many assistants to people who are being paid to do a job by themselves. The media used to print out a report on all school employee's and their wages but that has not been done for years. There is a big wasted of money in this school district and probably as well in all the larger districts in the state.
