LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Fayette County Board of Education unanimously approved a contract with Mauldin & Jenkins Certified Public Accountants, an Atlanta-based firm, during a virtual meeting Monday night, according to WUKY 91.3 FM.

Mauldin & Jenkins brings extensive experience auditing school systems and government entities across the Southeast. The firm’s appointment follows standard district procurement procedures to ensure independent financial oversight of the public school system’s budgeting and operations.
Details about the finance director position, including anticipated responsibilities and the timeline for filling the role, were not immediately available.
