I-5 REVIEW OF CHAPTER 192/193 AUXILIARY SERVICES TO NON-PUBLIC STUDENTS 

WHEREAS, the Freehold Regional High School District Board of Education has received 

recommendations for correction and improvement from the Office of Fiscal Accounting and 

Compliance (“OFAC”) based on its reported findings from a nine-month audit of the 2008-2009 

Chapter 192-193 services provided by the Monmouth-Ocean Educational Services Commission 

(“MOESC”); and 

WHEREAS, the Freehold Regional High School District Board of Education has reviewed the 

OFAC report and discussed it with the administration of the Board of Education, who has consulted 

with the MOESC about the OFAC report, its findings and recommendations; and 

WHEREAS, because several of the findings and recommendations, albeit good practice, extend 

beyond the written and oral direction from the Department of Education, the MOESC is appealing 

certain of the report’s findings on behalf of itself and all affected Boards of Education; and 

WHEREAS, the MOESC, in addition to the appeal, has prepared a Corrective Action Plan for the 

Board of Education, which has been coordinated with the MOESC Corrective Action Plan, to enact 

the recommended practices, even though not all of the recommendations were required of the 2008- 

2009 Chapter 192-193 services, as directed by OFAC. 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Freehold Regional High School District Board 

of Education accepts the OFAC report and adopts as its own the attached Corrective Action Plan 

(Attachment #2) as prepared by the MOESC.
