BRIEFLY EDUCATION

The Newport-Mesa Unified School District seeks interested residents to

apply for its 14-member audit committee.

Members’ duties include interacting with district auditors throughout

the annual auditing process, helping to prepare the audit report for the

school board and evaluating the process.

There are four positions open within the four high school attendance

zones. There are also at-large business experts and alternate positions

available that require the applicants to live within the school district

boundaries and must have financial or business experience with a

particular interest in auditing or evaluation of internal controls.

It is not necessary to have children attending Newport-Mesa schools to

apply, but the group does look for business experience. Letters of

application should be sent by Feb. 7 to Supt. Robert Barbot at 2985-A

Bear St., Costa Mesa, CA 92626. Information: Mike Fine, assistant

superintendent of business services, (714) 424-5001.
