PHOENIX — A West Valley high school district is under scrutiny for the alleged mismanagement of funds and improper disciplinary procedures regarding a teacher accused of sexual misconduct.

The Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC) of the Arizona state Legislature approved a special request to audit the Tolleson Union High School District on Wednesday and said it will be carried out by the Arizona Auditor General.

The request for the audit was made after allegations by a former principal who testified that sexual misconduct information regarding a teacher and student was repressed by leadership, among other instances of malpractice by district leaders.
