Cherokee Tribune – Marlow chair debate audit board awards construction contract

Cherokee Board of Education Member Kelly Marlow says she wants the school system auditor to come to a board meeting and publicly resolve her questions about the fiscal 2010-11 audit findings.

Following four failed motions by Marlow at Thursday’s Board of Education meeting, she brought up that she wants to resolve questions she had about the audit, and reiterated her desire for the auditor to attend a School Board meeting.

Board Chair Janet Read told Marlow that if she wanted the auditor to come, she would need to present an agenda item so the district could research whether or not the auditor would charge for a visit.

“You also, since April, have said that you had seven pages of audit questions,” Read said to Marlow. “We’re still waiting on those. I also gave you the opportunity to speak with the auditor personally, as well as the opportunity to meet with Candler Howell, the chief financial officer, as well. The auditor does not work for us.”
