The investigation into Brockton Schools' budget shortfall highlighted Jermaine Wiggins' hiring under Superintendent Thomas as an example of questionable practices leading to overspending.
The 214-page report accused former superintendent Michael Thomas of hiring favorites without experience, as seen in his controversial decision to bring on Jermaine Wiggins.
While initially promised a $100,000 salary, Wiggins’ actual pay was reduced to the standard coaching stipend after scrutiny revealed the budget deficit.
Thomas purportedly sought grant funding to pay Wiggins as a mentor, despite specifying no mentoring duties in his contract, further complicating the hiring's legitimacy.
