How did the alleged actions of Anthony Manning and others impact the financial stability and operational efficiency of the school building unit?

The inquiry uncovered that the number of contractors increased dramatically after Manning's appointment, leading to budget overruns and concerns about financial sustainability. The practice of using capital funds to cover operational costs was highlighted, along with allegations of favoritism in awarding contracts. These actions led to a significant increase in contractor spending, exceeding $344 million between 2017 and 2024.
