密歇根州卫生部门未能及时核实学校员工资格, Michigan’s health department failed to verify school staff credentials timely, risking federal funds.

州审计显示,密歇根州卫生与公众服务部未能及时核实2022年7月至2024年9月学校工作人员(如顾问和教师助理)的证书,造成2019-2020年的积压、延迟通知和未决问题。 A state audit reveals Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services failed to timely verify credentials for school-based staff like counselors and teacher aides from July 2022 to September 2024, resulting in backlogs, delayed notifications, and unaddressed issues dating to 2019-2020. 该部门在监督承包商时被评为“不够”,理由是监测不力,依赖承包商遵守合同条款。 The department was rated “not sufficient” in overseeing its contractor, citing weak monitoring and reliance on the contractor to follow contract terms. 虽然认为“除例外情况外”,地区遵守情况“充分”,但审计突出了联邦偿还的风险。 While district compliance was deemed “sufficient, with exceptions,” the audit highlights risks to federal reimbursement. MDHS承认调查结果,并承诺改进政策、时间表和培训,60天内将制定纠正行动计划。 MDHHS acknowledged the findings and pledged to improve policies, timelines, and training, with a corrective action plan due in 60 days.
