Institute for Reforming Government

DPI has yet to fulfill a June 17, 2024, records request from IRG concerning their role in MPS’ late financial reports. Seven months later, it raises the question, what are they hiding?

THE QUOTE: 

“The Institute for Reforming Government is calling on the Department of Public Instruction to immediately release IRG’s requested records,” said Jake Curtis, General Counsel and the Director of IRG’s Center of Investigative Oversight.“Continuing to keep the public in the dark surrounding MPS’s financial mismanagement is unacceptable.”

WHY IT MATTERS:

DPI’s correction-plan deadlines are apparently meaningless: MPS recently revealed that it had blown by finance deadlines DPI had reset for them after they failed to meet previous deadlines throughout 2023 and 2024. It is now 2025, and DPI still does not have MPS’ final paperwork. MPS is now scheduled to miss federal 2024 audit deadlines, and this backlog has put 2025 compliance at risk. What has DPI done to hold MPS accountable?
