Auditor Dave Yost releases the results of an audit completed on the now-closed General Chappie James Leadership Academy in Montgomery County.

On March 6, 2014, the Auditor of State's office learned of allegations that the academy may have been illegally inflating its attendance number to receive money from the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) for students who did not attend the academy. Due to the deceptive nature of the alleged conduct and concern that records may be destroyed, the Auditor of State's office and the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant on April 14, 2014 for all attendance records. The information was reviewed by the Auditor of State's Special Audit Task Force on July 2, 2014, and a special audit was subsequently launched. The special audit reviewed records for the period of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2014.
