Departing state auditor regrets leaving “one rock unturned” – School district efficiency

Former two-term Kentucky Auditor of Public Accounts “Crit Luallen said the one area she didn’t get to thoroughly investigate was the efficiency of Kentucky’s 174 local school district administrations.”

Ryan Alessi has the details on CN|2.

Luallen’s comments are particularly ironic given a new audit released just before Christmas on Jefferson County Public Schools, the largest system by far in the state. The audit found massive operational problems that raise very serious questions about how our tax dollars have been spent in Louisville’s school system.

It is extra ironic as the usual group of school booster organizations have announced that they will start to ‘put the arm’ on the legislature tomorrow to send even more money to a system that needs to first work much more efficiently with the massive proportion of state tax dollars it already receives.

And, Crit Luallen knows it.
