A state audit revealed details into an ongoing investigation of Montgomery County Public Schools' transportation department that led to changes in department leadership this year.
The details were part of a Sept. 29 audit by the Maryland Department of Legislative Services of the school system’s financial management practices.
Montgomery County Public Schools also found an account maintained by a transportation vendor, which was funded with money owed to the school district. The account was used to make payments to several employees and purchase items outside of the school district’s purview, according to the state’s report.
The school district hired an outside accounting and advisory firm in December to direct an independent forensic investigation into the “off the books” vendor payments totaling around $649,000 made directly to school district employees or to purchase goods and services — “purportedly on behalf of MCPS” — from October 2017 to November 2021, according to the state’s audit.Nov. 16, the account had a balance totaling $535,036, according to the state’s audit.The firm also found up to $572,000 worth of credit card purchases it deemed questionable or needing further review from July 2016 to January 2022.
