School Board Rejects HR Hiring Audit

The Davis County School Board voted against approving an audit of human resources hiring procedures and processes, citing concerns about the scope and budget constraints.

The Bottom Line

The Case Against

Some board members wanted to understand the scope and budget constraints before approving the human resources audit.
One board member stated her "nay" vote was due to wanting to understand the scope and budget constraints.

Key Numbers

Estimated cost of both audits discussed; budget of $100,000 per year.
$80,000 carryover to next year, plus $100,000 to the budget next year.
