I have been asked several times for a copy of the Audit Report into the Investigation of the Superintendent's outside business dealings. I would like to provide a copy of the non redacted version but I have been told by the Board it cannot be released and I have also not been allowed to keep a copy. Here is a copy of the redacted report that was previously released to the media. Note, the School Board auditor is limited in her ability to investigate since she does not have subpoena power.
Did the Board take any action against the Superintendent. The open document does state that he had outside employment with ERDI. His employment contract which is a public document, states that he must have prior approval from the School Board to have outside employment. I was never asked, consulted, nor voted on the topic of the Superintendent having outside employment prior to the fall of 2018.

Thank you very much for your bravery in trying to get to the bottom of this sensitive matter. Once again, Virginia Beach Government has used a toothless tiger to try to grab the evasive truth about one of our civic leaders. Whether there is a violation or not, the redacted report that you were given gives the impression of a cover up of sorts and leaves many feeling like there is still much that needs to be brought to the public eye. Add to the fact that the strong public comments made to the school board about the behavior of the School Superintendent and his wife's vulgar suggestion for a new year start for our President, have somehow been deleted for public review from the meeting went replayed on VB Public access Television Chanel 47 tonight, makes one more concerned about the mantra of full transparency from our local governmental bodies. Please continue to represent the interests of the citizens of Virginia Beach. I know you and one or two other members of the School Board must feel your are in a lonely battle for the truth.
