The school system has confirmed Department of Transportation Director Todd Watkins and DOT Assistant Director Charles Ewald are both on administrative leave. MCPS declined to clarify when it placed Watkins and Ewald on leave and if it continues to pay both of them.

Ewald has pleaded guilty to felony theft.

Who are all the “others?”

What "others"? DCUM's favorite, principals and their slush funds?

Reading is key. Article said others got kickbacks.

No it doesn't.

"The proffer shows Ewald made multiple requests for ATB to disburse money to himself and others from an “off-the-books” account."

Disbursements and kickbacks are not always the same thing. Kickbacks imply bribery or coercion. The article does not mention either.
