Paso Robles schools deserve answers about credit card use, not a national-style fight | Opinion

The controversy over credit card spending in the Paso Robles school district is starting to look like every other fight dividing this country. Sides formed before the facts did. Some see a trustee’s referral to the district attorney as necessary oversight; others question how the allegations were presented. Some trust the district’s outside investigator; others doubt it. Very few people have seen a receipt, but plenty of minds are made up. I’ve spent a lot of time with the public records and came away convinced of two things: The questions deserve real answers. And the way we’re going about getting them risks producing a result nobody trusts. The card statements released under a narrowed records request list dates, merchants and amounts. They don’t show what was bought, who attended, which fund paid or who approved it. Some charges, like payments to a brewery and a winery or large catering bills, deserve explanation. The district’s own card handbook says staff appreciation meals are a gift of public funds unless the board has adopted a policy approving them. Some charges may break district policy, and some may raise legal questions. The statements alone can’t tell us which. Controls matter, too. The official

Letter: School board should investigate allegations, not dismiss them

After watching the November 10th board meeting, I am utterly disappointed in the actions and comments of several board members. Very serious allegations involving the potential misuse of public funds have been brought forward. Regrettably, those allegations have once again cast a shadow over the reputation of PRJUSD. Multiple trustees understandably expressed frustration with the manner in which these allegations were presented. However, several then went considerably further: publicly dismissing the allegations, directing personal insults at the complaining trustee, apologizing to the staff members whose conduct was being questioned, and calling for the censure of the trustee who raised the concerns.
