SMOKE AND FIRE AND DASTARDLY DEEDS FOUND OUT

By Bob Walsh


Stockton Unified School District interim superintendent Dr. Traci E Miller, left, board president Cecilia Mendez, board members Ray Zulueta and Scot McBrian attend a town hall meeting about the critical grand jury report at the SUSD headquarters in downtown Stockton.

 
Regular readers will note that I have written several times recently about investigations into the operations of the Stockton Unified School District.  Those items looked at have included failure to follow procedure and the law concerning business operations, especially procurement, personnel irregularities and other issues.  In addition the district appears to have been pissing away money for years and is on the verge of being taken over by the state.

The San Joaquin County District Attorney announced this morning that his office has opened a criminal investigation into the district.  The previous investigations have been primarily civil and administrative.  The FBI is part of the investigation as you can not swing a dead cat in a school office without hitting something tied to federal money, hence the federal nose under the tent flap.  It does not pay to fuck with the feds (unless your name is Biden).  They have no sense of humor.
