The Oklahoma City Board of Education requested an investigative audit of Santa Fe South Charter Schools on Monday, a significant measure after the charter school system’s finances first came into question last week.
The school board requested an in-depth audit of Santa Fe South for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 school years and “any other years deemed necessary.”
As the oversight agency over Santa Fe South, the school board has the authority to ask the Oklahoma State Auditor & Inspector’s Office to conduct a forensic audit of the charter school system.
This is the same process Gov. Kevin Stitt used to initiate an investigative audit of Epic Charter Schools. In an Oct. 1 report, state auditors said they found widespread financial mismanagement at Epic, which school officials dispute.
“I’m glad to keep doing the work for kids, Lewis said. I’m literally just ready to start moving this district forward again.
Henry’s loss means he will leave the school board. The Oklahoma City attorney has represented the northernmost corner of the school district since 2017 but was prohibited from running for re-election to his seat and for board chairperson in the same election cycle.
Henry could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.
Lewis, an occupational therapist, took a familiar path to her election victory. She won the 2017 general election for board chairperson after trailing her opponent in the primary.
