Hickman’s Academy of Excellence 149 96 (August, 2010) $75,645 (August, 2010)

*At suspension unless otherwise noted

Rationale for Reasonable Suspicion of Program Violation:

The Department of Children and Families suspended this child care provider from the Wisconsin Shares program due to a combination of red flags signifying Shares violations and investigative findings. An audit of attendance records compared with billing records found that there were significant hours improperly billed to Wisconsin Shares which is contrary to DCF 201.04(5)(c) and licensing rule DCF 251.04(6)(a)(6)(b). From the period 01/04/2009 through 09/12/2009, there was an overpayment of $147,364.99.
