Poor record keeping costs Florida district $512,000
The Osceola County (Fla.) school district will lose $512,000 in state funding because of poor record keeping and other irregularities. State auditors found problems within the district's transportation department, where records for about 185 bus-riding students were incorrectly logged or not found--out of a sample of 455 students. The state auditor general conducts such audits every three years.
