Central 9 committee flags nearly $700,000 adult‑education deficit; safeguards added
Summary
A Central 9 committee representative reported an adult‑education program audit finding showing a multi‑year deficit of nearly $700,000; the committee said it has added oversight and regular audits while exploring repayment options.
During committee and community reports, a Central 9 representative told the board that the regional adult‑education program’s audit uncovered a multi‑year deficit approaching $700,000.
"The adult education program had been pulling from accounts that were already spent for years… The dollar amount is quite significant. It's nearly $700,000," the speaker said, summarizing a State Board of Accounts audit finding. He said the Central 9 board is reviewing the problem, has put more safeguards and internal oversight in place, and is evaluating how to repay and close the deficit.
The representative also noted positive items: leadership reorganizations at Central 9, contract renewal for Dr. Kovacs and praise for Beech Grove’s meeting recording practices, which Central 9 hopes to emulate.
The report did not include a repayment plan or timetable; the committee said it will continue to investigate and provide updates.
