General
Accounting Office |
Among other services, the GAO publishes studies regarding the use of federal tax dollars that can impact
schools. For example, a recent report deals with increasing
evaluation efforts at the state level of the effectiveness of Title
I programs. If states are required to perform more intense
evaluations, schools and school districts will be impacted because
they must provide more information to their state agency.
Reports are available for download on the GAO's Web
site. |
