The District Attorney should investigate a local nonprofit for skimming money from its employees’ retirement funds, according to a report commissioned by the County Office of Education.
The 38-page report “found evidence of apparent illegal fiscal practices and misappropriation of funds” by the Mexican American Community Service Agency, County Superintendent Charles Weis wrote in a letter sent to the District Attorney’s Office and other public agencies. The nonprofit – which ran Gilroy’s only charter school and another charter school in San Jose – failed to make about $400,000 in payments to its employees’ retirement accounts, according to the report.
The report, which did not mention any names of employees at the nonprofit, was also sent to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the State Controller, the involved school districts and MACSA’s Interim Chief Executive Officer.
