Investigators revealed that the head of the STH program misused funds meant for educational trips, instead facilitating family vacations with forged permission slips.
A whistleblower highlighted that very few actual homeless students listed on the trip paperwork attended those excursions, raising serious ethical questions.
The investigation, prompted by a complaint in 2019, produced findings that included recommendations for firing employees involved in the misuse of funds.
The Education Department did not disclose whether staff had faced punitive measures or reimbursed funds, leaving accountability in question.
