[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=NathanBacaABC7][quote=Anonymous]Does this mean we could have a federal takeover of DCPS? Or could Bowser go to jail? Lordy! [/quote]

We're not hearing anything about a criminal investigation. Considering the other agencies involved (USDOE & DCOIG) this sounds more like its focusing on appropriation of funds. As for a takeover, its still way to early to tell where this investigation will end.[/quote]

What kind of investigation does the FBI do that's not a "criminal" investigation? Scientific investigation?[/quote]

Based on what the reporter said above, the school could be misusing federal special education dollars by using it to pay for school related stuff that was special instruction for children with disabilities. Or falsifying records. That would come with sanctions to DCPS but not the same kind of 'criminal' as a person stealing funds for personal gains or assaulting someone. [/quote]

Or perhaps simply failing in their contractual duties or violating regulations.  Presumably if they take money to educate special ed kids, they are supposed to educate those kids, not just hand out diplomas that in no way meet stated graduation requirements.[/quote]
