Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

Disagrees because the named committees no longer exist: the Superintendent committee ended, the Budget Taskforce had a one-time 2023–24 purpose, and the Community Schools Taskforce never formed; page 6 promises handbook deletion.

Audit analysis

Explains the whole disagreement through distinct histories of all three committees and the dated budget taskforce purpose; these are agency assertions.
