A report from Spectrum News Texas highlighted two checks for more than $1 million that were allegedly sent from Third Future Schools of Texas to its Colorado campuses. The report accused Miles of sending Texas taxpayer dollars out of state while he ran the charter system.

Miles has refuted these claims.
