CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) - A school district in San Diego County
that's already mired in a corruption scandal is investigating whether
cafeteria workers may have stolen $500,000 worth of goods.
U-T San Diego says two supervisors have resigned and six other employees are on
unpaid leave while the Sweetwater Union High School District
investigates.
Superintendent Ed Brand says there are indications
that employees stole food and drinks from cafeterias, keeping the goods
for themselves or selling them. A private investigator has been hired to
examine the food-service department.
Sweetwater made news last
week when criminal charges were filed against four current and former
officials and a construction contractor.
Those officials,
including the district's former superintendent, are accused of taking
expensive perks from businesses seeking construction contracts.
