Auditors are calling out schools for questionable spending on overseas trips and travel.
The Auditor-General’s latest report flagged concerns with more than 170 school boards last year, many involving how principals used coaching and wellbeing funds.
Around a third were tied to travel.
Sector Manager for Schools, Jane Rogers told Heather du Plessis-Allan some boards allowed personal travel to be added onto work trips.
She says spending public money has to have a justifiable purpose, so they wouldn't expect it to be spent on personal travel.
