Audit Report on the Department of Education's Reporting of Violent, Disruptive, and Other Incidents at New York City Public High Schools (MG06-140A)
An audit report was filed on September 19, 2007 on the Department of Education's (DOE) reporting of violent, disruptive, and other incidents at New York City Public High Schools. The audit determined whether DOE has adequate controls in place to ensure that incidents at New York City Public High Schools are consistently entered in the On-line Occurrence Reporting System (OORS) so that DOE can report them to the New York State Education Department (SED) in accordance with SED requirements. It was determined that DOE did not have effective controls in to ensure that incidents at its high schools were consistently entered in OORS, thus a significant portion of incidents were not entered. There were also issues regarding consistency of reporting across schools and the discretion used in handling these incidents. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
