"I support Interim Superintendent Dr. Hinman's call for complete independent reviews of (the office of education's) finances and operations," County Board of Education President Maimona Afzal Berta said in the statement. "Any potential misuse of public funds needs to be investigated immediately."
The audits will focus on unspecified contract awards and expenditures of public funds, as well as allegations of email surveillance over school district personnel, according to a Friday announcement from Interim Superintendent Charles Hinman.
Officials say they've also contacted local law enforcement and will "fully cooperate" with any federal investigation into the county's Head Start program.
Sources told San José Spotlight that the investigations are not focused solely on Dewan, but will focus on the entire office of education financially and operationally.
