Charleston Co. Schools seeks community members for Audit and Finance Committee



Charleston Co. Schools seeks qualified community members to serve on committee

By Emily Johnson

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Charleston County School District is looking for two community members to serve on the district’s Audit and Finance Committee. The district is looking for these two community members as they enter an extremely difficult budgeting year with many important decisions ahead.

Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications

The minimum qualifications for the role include medium to large corporation work experience in finance, financial auditing, banking, economic development, business management, or information technology. A preferred qualification includes currently or previously holding the position of Chief Financial Officer in a large organization.

Seeking Diversity in Expertise

“The decision was made a year ago to look on how to expand the committee onto some areas to seek expertise in areas that we didn’t have,” Board of Trustees Chair and Audit and Finance Committee member Keith Grybowski says.

Community Involvement

“I think it’s important to have different viewpoints and different perspectives. To have such very limiting qualifications for the seat, it’s not good because you’re not going to get the perspective of parents or somebody else,” Constituent Board member Joy Brown says.

Role of the Committee Members

If chosen to be on the committee, they will review the district’s financial reports, recommend policies that maintain and improve the financial health and integrity of the district, and oversee the internal and external audit functions.

Application Details

The deadline for interested community members is March 29. For more details on the position and how to apply, click here.
