City Controller candidate Michelle Caruso-Cabrera has called for an independent investigation into spending by the Department of Education under ex-schools Chancellor Richard Carranza.<\/p>\n
Caruso-Cabrera\u2019s call for a probe comes in the wake of a report by The Post that revealed the education department awarded Carranza\u2019s current employer — IXL Learning, Inc. — $3.3 million in contracts in the past two years alone.<\/p>\n
The California ed-tech firm announced its hiring of Carranza on April 1 — less than three weeks after his last day as chancellor.<\/p>\n
The DOE has said Carranza \u201cfollowed all job-hunting conflict and recusal rules while securing his job with IXL\u201d<\/p>\n
But Caruso-Cabrera wants an investigation to determine if that is the case. <\/p>\n
\u201cAs someone who has spent decades following the money and questioning the lies, and not a professional politician like everyone else involved, I know that what we need here is an outside investigator who can scrutinize every detail,\u201d Caruso-Cabrera told The Post in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s outrageous that millions of taxpayer dollars were awarded by the DOE to a
company whose learning programs have been blasted by parents and students at the
same time that the former school chancellor was interviewing for a high-powered
position at that same company – where was the oversight here?\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
