 Extraordinary Audit of the Options for Youth, Inc. & Opportunities
for Learning, Inc. Charter Schools
The audit, initiated in conjunction with superintendents of county
offices of education in Los Angeles, Orange, Sacramento, San
Bernardino, and Siskiyou counties, found that due to noncompliance
with state laws, the Options for Youth and Opportunities for
Learning Charter Schools claimed more than $57 million than
the schools were entitled to in state funding over a period of three
years (fiscal years 2002-03, 2003-04, and 2004-05).
The audit also revealed excessive compensation for the founders of
the charter schools; mixing of business that are privately owned
with public schools that are controlled by the same individuals; and
instances of nepotism.
