New information on a story News 12 first brought you earlier this month involving federal education money spent in McDuffie County.

The state auditor's office found McDuffie County spent nearly $50,000 more on their Title 1 program than they were supposed to.

The state auditor said the school system filed an inaccurate report on the money.

Now, the state board of education is saying the money's all accounted for, though it does agree McDuffie County spent more money than they were given.

The McDuffie County school comptroller, Tom Smalley, told News 12 the money to cover the overspending came from McDuffie County's general funds.

Click here to read emails from the Georgia Department of Education's financial review director indicating that no further action is required from McDuffie County concerning the overspending.

McDuffie County school board president Jerry Randolph has asked News 12 to clarify that the comment posted below by a "J. Randolph" was not made by him.

I have heard from several commenters that their comments have not appeared on the site. I don't know what's happening, but I have informed IT about the problem. In the meantime, it might be best to comment on the forum linked below instead of here.

I am thinking about taking my children out of McDuffie County Schools until the bad apples are removed from McDuffie.

Don't forget the Board meeting next Thursday. Petersen has embarassed and threatened the residents of McDuffie County long enough.
