An audit shows the nation's second-largest school district could have saved $77 million if its own employees were used instead of consultants on the district's $27 billion construction project.

Inspector General Jerry Thornton's audit, released Monday, said Los Angeles Unified School District officials should rein in the power of consultants before there's a loss of government control.

The audit examined the 2006-07 school year, noting $77 million may have been saved that year if district employees were used. It recommends removing consultants from senior-level positions and replacing them with district employees.

The district has built 76 new schools in the past seven years. Thirty-three are now being built, and another 22 are scheduled to open by 2013.
