Universal Citation: 19 TX Admin Code § 100.1051

Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) Commissioner authority. To the extent consistent with subsection (b) of this section, the commissioner of education may audit the records of:

(1) a charter school;

(2) a charter holder; or

(3) a management company that has provided management services to a charter school or a charter holder.

(b) Scope of audit.

(1) An audit under subsection (a) of this section must be limited to matters directly related to the management or operation of a charter school, including the allocation of costs shared between the charter school and any non-charter business activity. The audit may examine any financial or administrative records related to the charter school that are in the possession of a management company or a former management company, including records related to the allocation of shared costs.

(2) Unless the commissioner has specific cause to conduct an additional audit, the commissioner may not conduct more than one on-site audit under this section during any fiscal year, including any financial and administrative records. For purposes of this subsection, an audit of a charter holder or management company associated with a charter school is not considered an audit of the school.

(c) Charter holder cooperation. A charter holder and its employees and agents shall fully cooperate with an audit under subsection (a) of this section, and shall take all actions necessary to secure the cooperation of a management company. Failure to comply timely with a request for access to records or other cooperation from the charter holder constitutes a material charter violation.

(d) Management company cooperation. A management company and its employees and agents shall fully cooperate with an audit under subsection (a) of this section. Failure to timely comply with a request for access to records or other cooperation from the management company constitutes a management company breach, which may result in the commissioner taking action to prohibit, deny renewal of, suspend, or revoke the management contract as provided in Texas Education Code, § 12.126.
