The DeKalb County School Board’s Committee on Budget, Audit, Finance & Facilities will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday to discuss the results of an audit commissioned by Superintendent Cheryl Atkinson.

Among the findings of auditor KPMG was evidence that suggested board-mandated staff reductions did not occur. The school system briefly released the report to the public on its website before retracting it, claiming a state law about accountant work product prohibited disclosure.

Nonetheless, board members will discuss the audit in public in the J. David Williamson Board Room in the Robert R. Freeman Administrative Center of the DeKalb County School System’s Administrative & Instructional Complex, 1701 Mountain Industrial Boulevard, Stone Mountain.
