Kentucky auditor has finished her examination of Fayette schools. What happens now?
Kentucky Auditor Allison Ball’s office has turned its examination of Fayette County Public Schools’ finances over to the school district for review, a spokesperson said Thursday. Olivia McKown, a spokesperson for Ball’s office, confirmed that FCPS has received the audit. It has not been made public yet. “The confidential draft special examination report was submitted to the district on the evening of Tuesday, November 10. The district has 15 days to prepare and send their response to the Auditor,” McKown said. “Our office will review their responses and determine if an auditor reply is needed. Once the final APA review is complete, it will be released to the public in early December.” “Once they receive it, they have 15 days to respond. Our office will not release it to the public until we receive and review their response,” McKown said. FCPS has received the special examination from the Kentucky Auditor of Public Accounts and will work within the established 15-day timeframe to review and respond, district spokesperson Miranda Scully said. “Just as we have done with all previous reports and audits, FCPS will share the examination publicly once that formal review process is complete, in coordination with the Auditor’s office,”
