WASHINGTON (AP) - Education Department officials and their contractors appear to have improperly backed certain types of instruction in administering a $1 billion-a-year reading program, congressional investigators found.
The Government Accountability Office report supports assertions by the inspector general of the Education Department, who has released several reports in recent months into the Reading First program.
The program is a key part of the 2002 No Child Left Behind law. It offers intensive reading help for low-income and struggling schools.
