The Nashville Metro School Board plans to hire two full-time auditors to convince taxpayers its spending their money wisely after learning the schools director exploited a loophole to circumvent board approval for large purchases.
The metro school board requires approval for district contracts of more than $100,000, but WTVF recently exposed how schools director Shawn Joseph’s team broke up large expenses into smaller contracts to avoid the oversight.
The practice resulted in millions of dollars spent on contracts that did not go through proper purchasing policies, unbeknownst to the board.
