Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum said, “This audit seems to confirm what we already know about the Department of Education--it undervalues small class size and fails to grasp the benefits that parents and educators all recognize. The DOE is also developing a track record of irresponsible spending. Comptroller Thompson’s audit is important because it paints a clear picture of where DOE’s priorities lie: not in smaller class sizes, but in expensive testing programs and private consultants.”
