Inforsation was requested about the payments made to
youths participatinq in the Cardozo High School summer band
program in 1975. The band's eligibility for funding under the
Comprehansive Employment and Training Act was investigated. The
eligibility of all the youths who participated in the band
program was also re~iewed. Findings/Conclusions: The Department
of Labor decideJ that the 1975 band program met the requirements
of the act's regilations, which specify that the project provide
skill training an, work experience to the participants. Some
rjuesticn had ariseL about whether culturally-oriented programs
were eligible for funding under the act. Although 74 youths had
been certified as economically disadvantaged and eligible for
the Cardozo project, applications for 55 of the 74 youths were
not available for verification of the validity of certification.
For the 19 yoaths whose applications were available, the data
supported 16 certifications. Since the regulations and
legislation pertaining to the act are very broad, funding of
culturally-oriented progress is not specifically precluded. If
the Congress did not intend to fund such programs under the act,
a specific prohibition could be included in the legislation.
Recommendations: The Secretary of Labor should recover from the
District of Columbia the amounts paid to ineligible
participants. The Labor Department should determine the
eligibility of the 55 youths who participated in the program but
whose records were not available aad should recover from the
District any payments made to ineligible youths. (SW)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaabyc0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
