In accordance with Section 12 of Chapter 11 of the Massachusetts General Laws, the Office of the State Auditor has conducted a performance audit of the Collaborative for Educational Services (CES) for the period July 1, 2017 through March 31, 2019. In this performance audit, we determined whether CES educators were properly licensed, whether they were properly credentialed for the positions for which they were hired, and whether CES conducted evaluations of educators in accordance with applicable state regulations and other requirements.
