Audit finds misuse of federal funds at Kansas City, Mo., charter school

May 19, 2011
Don Bosco Charter, already slated to close, must repay $256,000

From The Kansas City Star: A Kansas City (Mo.) charter school, already slated to close next month, must return $256,000 in allegedly misappropriated federal funds, the state of Missouri says. An audit of Don Bosco Charter High School found that some Title I funds were used inappropriately to help cover staff salaries and benefits and to purchase materials in the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years. The schoolannounced last month that it would close at the end of this school year because of financial hardship. The school had problems with poor attendance.
