Ohio Auditor Seeks $480,135 Recovery From Former Charter School Manager
Ohio’s Auditor of State issued findings for recovery totaling $480,135.23 against former Westside Academy business manager Michelle Scott and her bonding company after a special investigation documented unauthorized payments, personal credit-card purchases, and improper tuition reimbursements. The case is not a contract opportunity, but it underscores public-school procurement risks around payment authorization, purchasing-card oversight, vendor verification, and employee bonding.
