CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The head of Cleveland city schools says the district's former chief operating officer had three top administrators investigated in a costly probe.
Chief Executive Officer Eugene Sanders says former Chief Operating Officer Daniel Burns had a private firm conduct undercover investigations of the three at a cost of just under $100,000. Sanders says he was unaware of the investigations and doesn't know why Burns wanted information on the three.
A Cleveland grand jury last week indicted Burns and a Toledo-area school vendor on racketeering, evidence-tampering and other charges for allegedly pocketing $160,000 for printing equipment purchases never provided.
Burns' attorney, John McCaffrey, told the Cleveland Plain Dealer he doesn't have details on the employee investigations and couldn't comment.
