Audit of Follow Through Finances To Start; Misuse of Funds Alleged
By DEBBIE GUMP Kanaan Staff Reporter
An audit of the Woodlawn School behavior analysis program's financial records will begin today or Monday, Ronald Hamilton, University of Kansas comptroller, said.
the program, which is funded by the federal government, has been accused by former employees of misappropriation of funds.
The audit stems from charges that program employees were paid travel expense reimbursements for trips they never took.
Bette Mallonee, a former staff trainer with the program, said her name had been forged on Kansas Department of Admissions to pay for her work as a data collector.
Another former employee, Alice Fowler,
said that to pay for her work as a parent
coordinate for the program she received
$400 for trips she had never taken.
"We have no choice but to investigate the allegation. Hamilton said. They deny."
However, Hamilton cautioned against jumping to conclusions before the audit had taken place.
William J. Arngersinger Jr., vice chancellor for research administration, said the audit was part of an overall examination of the program. He said the audit had been in
No Directive Issued by Knox Director Says
Robert Taylor, director of elementary education, criticized the comments of teachers who spoke out recently against the Woodland program at Woodland elementary school.
He said these teachers, who had asked for anonymity in return for their comments, and then for the comment that there had been a directive sent out by Carl Knox, school superintendent. The directive supposedly informed all teachers to avoid criticism of the behavior analysis
There had never been such a directive, he said.
Taylor's comments came at a meeting of the Citizens for Responsive Education organization, which consists of Lawrence and Elizabeth Cohen concerned with the city's educational system.
operation since the middle of February when the "completely unsupported" message arrives.
Hamilton said that his office's internal auditor, Cathy Kelley, would complete an "audit program" today and that the investigation would begin after Hamilton received a letter from her father, university attorney; Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor; and Agarischer,
An audit program is similar to a teacher's lesson plan, Hamilton said, in that it establishes the audit's guidelines. The audit program will determine what will be investigated and how the investigation will proceed, he said.
Until the audit program is completed,
Hamilton said, he didn't know what would be investigated. He said that although he hadn't talked with any of the program's accusers, "somewhere along the way interviews will be made." He also said the program would be checked against the program's records.
"I have been in several meetings with University administrators to review the allegations that have been made." Hamilton said. Trip reports are among the documents that have been examined, he said.
"It could possibly be pretty sticky," Hamilton said. "I could see something more serious (than firing a person) depending on what we find."
KU-Haskell Activities Week To End with Canoe Trip
a canoe trip Sunday will highlight a week of special activities between University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Junior College students.
Students will meet in front of the Haskell Student Union about noon. They will then proceed to Lecompton Bridge and canoe down the Kansas River to Lawrence.
The week's activities were the effort of the Lawrence Human Relations Commission, KU's Association of University Residence Halls and Haskell.
The week opened Monday with a barbecue. The attendance was small because of bad weather.
Tuesday night, 50 students met at McCollum Hall for dinner. A basketball game followed between the championship intramural teams of both schools. Delta Thaera fraternity, KU's championship team, beat Haskell 105 to 58.
Cary Badger, Gardner junior, has been in charge of the week's activities. Badger said he felt good about the outcome and anticipated a large turnout for the canoe trip.
Students interested in the canoe trip can get in touch with Badger or meet at Haskell
