“#Comptroller candidate calls for investigation into DOE spending<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

City Controller Michelle Caruso-Cabrera has called for an independent investigation into spending by the Department of Education under ex-schools Chancellor Richard Carranza.<\/p>\n

Caruso-Cabrera\u2019s call for a probe comes in the wake of a report by The Post that revealed the education department paid Carranza\u2019s current employer \u2014 IXL Learning, Inc. \u2014 $3.3 million in the past two years alone.<\/p>\n

The DOE awarded the California ed-tech firm a seven-year contract in 2016, under former Chancellor Carmen Fari\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

The contract called for a maximum cost of $1,041,869, but payments have exceeded that \u2014 against procurement rules.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DOE often spends beyond registered contract maximums before submitting amendments or extensions to the comptroller\u2019s Office,\u201d said Hazel Crampton-Hays, press secretary for Comptroller Scott Stringer.<\/p>\n

IXLannounced its hiring of Carranza on April 1 \u2014 less than three weeks after his last day as chancellor.<\/p>\n

The DOE has said Carranza \u201cfollowed all job-hunting conflict and recusal rules while securing his job with IXL\u201d<\/p>\n

But Caruso-Cabrera wants an investigation to determine if conflict-of-interest rules were violated.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs someone who has spent decades following the money and questioning the lies, and not a professional politician like everyone else involved, I know that what we need here is an outside investigator who can scrutinize every detail,\u201d Caruso-Cabrera told The Post in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s outrageous that millions of taxpayer dollars were awarded by the DOE to a
company whose learning programs have been blasted by parents and students at the same time that the former school chancellor was interviewing for a high-powered position at that same company,\u201d said Caruso-Cabrera.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere was the oversight here?\u201d she added.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
