The entire board of directors overseeing Highlands Community Charter and Technical Schools in Sacramento has either resigned or been removed following a scathing report from the California State Auditor, reports Moneywise. 

The June 24 audit found the adult charter school improperly received more than $180 million in education funding. Investigators also uncovered what they described as “questionable financial transactions” and conflicts of interest, including unlawful gifts, luxury travel and the hiring of unqualified individuals.

The resignations and removals came in the weeks after the audit’s release. The findings raise serious concerns about oversight and accountability within the state’s charter school system, prompting calls for reform.

Highlands Community Charter, which offers education and job training to adults, has not publicly responded to the auditor’s conclusions.

State officials have not yet announced whether the school will face additional penalties or legal action.
