The Audit Advisory Committee of the Clark County School District convened on August 9, 2025, to discuss key issues regarding the alignment and communication among trustees. The meeting began with a recap of previous discussions held over the past two years, particularly focusing on the need for improved collaboration under the new leadership.

A significant point raised was the upcoming joint meeting scheduled for November, where the committee will review the annual external audit. The chair emphasized the importance of this meeting and indicated a desire to revisit discussions from previous years, particularly concerning the roles and expectations of trustees. This initiative aims to address perceived disconnects between trustees' understanding of their responsibilities and public perceptions.

The chair proposed conducting a survey among trustees to gauge their individual perspectives on the committee's functions and to identify areas for improvement. This survey is intended to foster better communication and alignment among trustees, ensuring that everyone is on the same page moving forward.

Additionally, the committee discussed the importance of reviewing their bylaws to ensure clarity and consistency in operations, especially with the new administration. The chair expressed a commitment to gathering feedback from trustees and enhancing engagement to align their mission and objectives.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the committee's focus on improving internal communication and collaboration among trustees, setting the stage for more effective governance in the future. The next steps include preparing for the November joint meeting and potentially incorporating the proposed survey into future agendas.
