PRJUSD Addresses Credit Card Allegations, Says They Are Misleading 11.09.2026

On Friday afternoon, the Paso Robles joint unified school district published two additional statements from superintendent Jennifer Loftus and board president Joel Peterson regarding credit card allegations against the district. These are made in response to an article by CalCoast News, and subsequently the California Post. The articles cite charges on the district’s credit card, saying some of the purchases “violate the constitutional ban on gifts of public funds, and the district’s own credit card rules.” This includes about $7,000 spent at San Antonio Winery, and meals purchased regularly by assistant superintendent Brad Pawlowski, alleging they were linked to his work in Bakersfield by the fiscal crisis and management assistance team.
