After audited reports found the Tracy Unified School District slacked in managing student body bank accounts, the district is working to more closely monitor that money.

The district’s board of trustees will discuss the audit and administrators’ corrective actions at its meeting 7 p.m. Tuesday in the district office, 1875 W. Lowell Ave.

The board will also review its proposed budget for the next two years, and a report of how much money it made and spent from Nov. 1, 2009 until Jan. 31, 2010.

It will also amend a list of layoff notices it plans to send March 15.

On Feb. 23, it approved the list of nearly 150 full time employees — this list removes 4.4 full time special education employees from threat of layoff, and adds two assistant principals at kindergarten through eighth grade schools.

The district in January received the independent audit of 2008-09 from the San Joaquin County Office of Education.

It recommended the district tighten control over its schools Associated Student Body accounts to prevent “potential theft or misstatement.”

Associated Study Bodies are student government groups who run school events and fundraisers.

The audit found that at Williams Middle School, money on at least four occasions wasn’t deposited for weeks after it was received.

It also found a discrepancy in accounting for ticket sales of a school dance in October 2008.

The report found at Tracy High School, money from sales at the student store was lumped with other funds.

The district said as a response, it is training staff members responsible for study body activities and getting accounting software so students, advisors, administrators, and the district business office can more closely monitor the money.
