Our review is being made at programs conducted by the Uni- versity of Miami; Western Carolina University; Buffalo State Universicy College; New York University and the Bank Street College of Education; Northern Arizona University; the University of Southern California; and participating elementary and secondary schools. Under the program, the Office of Education provides funds to grantees - - usually institutions of higher education and local educational agencies (LEAs) - - to operate locally conceived programs which have been approved by the applicable State educational agency. The Teacher Corps program operates on a cycle basis. Generally a cycle consists of preservice training - - a period of not more than 3 months during which the corpsmembers' suitability for training is determined - - and 2 academic years with an intervening summer; however, certain programs operate for a shorter period of time. Grantees are required to submit final financial reports to Teacher Corps Headquarters in Washington, D.C. within 60 days after completion of each budget period for which Federal funds were made available. There are separate budget periods for each phase of a Teacher Corps cycle. On the basis of these financial reports, Teacher Corps Headquarters can determine the amount of unexpended funds, if any, that are required to be returned to the Government. In our review, which is still in process, we noted that certain Teacher Corps grantees were retaining Federal grant funds after the completion of the periods for which the funds were made available, instead of returning these funds as required by the governing guidelines. This and other related matters are being brought to your attention at this time to enable appropriate corrective action to be taken. NEED TO RECOVER FUNDS OUTSTANDING AFTER COMPLETION OF THE GRANT PERIODS We found that 22 grantees participating in Teacher Corps programs included in our review were holding a total of about $340,000 of Federal funds for up to three years after the periods for which the funds were made available. 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-1971
