Mount Vernon News - Mount Vernon, OhioCLEVELAND (AP) -- A former charter school that once was the largest in the city owes the Ohio Department of Education $1.4 million for inflated enrollment figures, a state audit found.
The defunct International Preparatory School also misspent nearly $1.6 million in federal grant money, according to the audit that was sent to the Cuyahoga County prosecutor and the Ohio attorney general.
"In my opinion, it seems like a pretty heinous case," Auditor Mary Taylor said Thursday. "This is pretty serious, and these people need to be held accountable."
The audit covers the 15 final months the school was open. It was closed in October 2005 by its sponsor, the Lucas County Educational Service Center, following state audits that identified nearly $30,000 in findings for recovery, which are public dollars that were illegally spent.
