WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2001 Secretary Rod Paige on Tuesday said the Department of Education has implemented a number of reforms in an attempt to root out corruption and fraud at the agency. He released an interim report which documented the progress the department has made since an internal report found a number of employee abuses. Among the problems which had been uncovered was $2 million in funds earmarked for Indian schools in South Dakota but which ended up in private bank accounts. They money was used to buy Cadillac, a luxury sport-utility vehicle, real estate, and other property. The property was seized and much of the remaining money has been returned. Get the Story:
