Ex-School Official Accused of Secretly Ordering $4 Million of His Own Books

The AP reports not everyone in the public sector is benevolent:

A former education official was accused in a lawsuit of using his post to secretly buy almost 46,000 textbooks and other teaching aids he himself had written, bringing him nearly $1 million in royalties.

The suit by the Los Angeles Unified School District also said Matthias Vheru illegally covered more than $3 million of the $4 million cost by using federal education funds that had been earmarked for programs that assist non-native English speakers.

A great moment in public education.
