Auditor Challenges Backlash

A concerning development in the case of the Dallas ISD Chief Auditor. It appears he may be getting forced out – despite his resignation.

Chief Internal Auditor Steve Martin asks Texas Education Agency to review his work.

Outside Auditor

According to some news sources he has asked for state auditors including the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to review his work.

Steven Martin called for the Texas State Auditor and TEA to review completed audits. Those documents show Dallas school district potentially overpaid more than $330,000 for $1.2 million in two construction contracts per WFAA.

The Texas Education Agency, which can investigate possible fraud and abuse, also received a letter.

In his letter to the state, Martin says, “The problem the District finds itself in is that any company that the District contracts with to review the audits will be suspect as not being independent of the District.”

The Dallas ISD procurement process may be getting new life as an issue in the upcoming Board of Trustees election. If this issue ends up in court, it could happen in public before the scheduled $3.7B bond vote.
