Report: MCPS’ Department of Transportation Abused Use of its Credit Cards @mcps @mocoboe

Montgomery County Public School’s Department of Transportation (DOT) abused its use of purchase cards [CREDIT CARDS], according to a 15-page report released Thursday by Montgomery County Inspector General Megan Davey Limarzi.

An earlier internal audit by the school district found “questionable purchases,” including gift cards, furniture, and other purchases that were shipped to an employee’s home.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) reviewed $570,000 worth of transactions from July 2020 to June 2022 and ruled that $133,000 of these purchases by a former DOT assistant director were prohibited by MCPS policy.

The OIC and MCPS noted that $6,500 was spent on items that were considered not for use by MCPS.

According to the report, “The OIG also found that MCPS DOT management and staff regularly violated MCPS P-Card [CREDIT CARD] policies.”..
