What we review
Our 20-Point Audit.
Our audit covers 20 points across every area of school operations. These are the ten most requested.
Comprehensive School Audit
A complete review of the school’s academic programs, leadership practices, policies, records, staffing, operations, and regulatory compliance. The audit identifies strengths, areas of concern, and practical recommendations for continuous school improvement.
Charter / School Compliance
A detailed review to determine whether the school is operating in accordance with its charter agreement, governing documents, authorizer requirements, and applicable federal and state regulations. The review helps school leaders address compliance risks before they affect authorization, funding, or daily operations.
Safety & Operations
An evaluation of school safety procedures, emergency-response plans, facility operations, visitor protocols, student supervision, transportation, and security practices. Recommendations are provided to strengthen preparedness, reduce operational risks, and promote a safe learning environment.
Curriculum Alignment Audit / State Standards
A review of curriculum maps, instructional materials, lesson plans, assessments, and pacing guides to verify alignment with required state academic standards. The audit identifies instructional gaps, unnecessary repetition, and opportunities to strengthen student achievement.
Governance and Policy Review Compliance
An examination of board policies, bylaws, meeting procedures, governance records, administrative policies, and decision-making practices. This review helps ensure that the governing board and school leadership operate ethically, consistently, transparently, and within legal requirements.
Exceptional Children (EC) & Section 504 Compliance Standards
A specialized review of special-education and Section 504 procedures, student plans, evaluations, eligibility records, accommodations, service delivery, and required documentation. The audit helps protect students’ rights while supporting compliance with IDEA, Section 504, and applicable state requirements.
Enrollment & Records Reviews
A review of enrollment applications, eligibility documentation, attendance records, student files, withdrawals, transfers, and records-retention procedures. This process helps ensure that student information is complete, accurate, confidential, and properly maintained.
Staff Compliance
An evaluation of employee files, licenses, certifications, background checks, required training, job assignments, evaluations, and personnel documentation. The review identifies missing or expired requirements and helps the school maintain a qualified, properly documented workforce.
Sports & Extra Curriculum Compliance and Review
A review of athletic and extracurricular programs, including student eligibility, physical examinations, coach qualifications, safety procedures, transportation, finances, and supervision. The process helps ensure that activities are safe, equitable, properly documented, and compliant with school and governing-organization requirements.
Graduation & Transcript Audit
A detailed examination of student transcripts, earned credits, course requirements, transfer credits, grade calculations, and graduation eligibility. The audit helps prevent errors, confirms that students have satisfied graduation requirements, and supports the accuracy and integrity of official academic records.
The remaining ten points are scoped with you during the free consultation — so your audit fits your school, not a template.
Book your free consultationPlanning your audit.
Audits are typically scheduled a few months in advance. Required documents are submitted 45 days prior to the first audit, so your team has time to gather everything and we can start prepared.
