A policy that allows Higley Unified School District to pay its bills in a timely manner, even if a voucher has not yet come before the governing board, will continue to be in effect.
State law allows the practice if a district passes a resolution for it so that salaries and other expenses are not delayed. The board then ratifies the action at its next meeting.
But Vice President Anna Van Hoek objected to the practice, saying it "diminishes oversight, risking unauthorized and inappropriate expenditures without immediate board scrutiny."
