BIE Official Allegedly Inflated Gifted Program Enrollment and Student Attendance Numbers at Former School

Report Number
17-0819

We investigated allegations that a BIE official, when he was the principal of a BIE boarding school, had attempted to increase the school’s Federal funding by: • Allowing or directing the enrollment of students in the school’s gifted and talented (GT) program without properly assessing them • Submitting inaccurate student attendance records We found that enrollment in the school’s GT program went up dramatically while the official was principal and that this increased the school’s Federal funding, but we did not find evidence that the official had directed school staff to identify GT
