Education agency draws scrutiny - Connecticut Post: ""We have an ongoing audit at the state Department of Education and in conjunction with that audit we are taking a look at the contractual issues between the state Department of Education and SERC," said Robert M. Ward, one of the two state auditors. "Given the public issues raised about the contracts and the fact that we had pointed out the relationship in the past between the state Board of Education and SERC, we want to look at their funding arrangement," Ward said, adding that auditors had recently started a routine audit of the Department of Education.
SERC was created in 1969 to address the requirements of the federal Education of the Handicapped Act. Its original name was the Special Education Resource Center, but it was changed by the General Assembly in 2005 and the Rensselaer Hartford Graduate Center acted as its fiscal agent. Its contract with Rensselaer was set to expire in June 2010 but Pryor's office said the contract is still in effect."
