Report finds Nyssa officials misspent more than $700,000 meant for migrant program

The long-awaited forensic audit of Nyssa's migrant education program revealed officials misspent more than $700,000. Still, the report notes that auditors could not determine the intent of the expenditures because those with "firsthand knowledge" of the migrant program during the audit years - former superintendent, supervisor and lead recruiter - are no longer with the district and were not interviewed.
