GAO focuses on the D.C. public schools, including their total expenditures, per pupil costs, controls over personnel information and payments, data on the number of students and controls over nonresident students, and funding for the capital program. GAO notes that District programs and agencies are plagued with poor management information that hampers District officials' ability to manage programs and make the hard choices necessary to resolve the current fiscal crisis. Nowhere is this more true than with the situation regarding personnel information. Information on employees in personnel, payroll, and budget systems is often erroneous and inconsistent. Managing personnel costs in the D.C. public schools is particularly problematic: Actual personnel expenditures exceeded the budget in each of the last five fiscal years. The D.C. public schools also have poor management information on the number of students and lack an effective program to identify nonresident students. GAO makes several recommendations to deal with these problems. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-95-170/html/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-95-170.htm GAO/T-AIMD-95-170 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-95-170 Testimony GAO/T-AIMD-95-170; District of Columbia: Weaknesses in Personnel Records and Public Schools' Management Information and Controls; Personnel records Public schools Management information systems Payroll records Overtime compensation Information resources management Internal controls Students DC Public Schools Student Information Membership System DC Public Schools Central Investment Fund Texas Florida DC Public Schools Capital Program
