Our audit objective was to examine the design and operating effectiveness of the Department of Education’s processes to define the desired results of the Class Size Initiative, to develop and action plan to achieve those results, and to measure, monitor and report on the initiative.
We concluded that the Department of Education did not, in all significant respects, have effective processes as of July 2017 to define the desired results of the Class Size Initiative, to develop an action plan to achieve those results, and to measure, monitor and report on the initiative.
Based on our audit findings, it appears that department has, over time, converted Class Size Initiative funding to additional base instructional funding.
