From EdSource,
In a statement issued jointly by Deasy and the board, the
board stated that “at this time it does not believe that the
superintendent engaged in any ethical violations or unlawful acts.” Deasy has
been at the center of a controversy regarding a $30 million
contract awarded to Apple computer that distributed iPads to
students. According to the statement, Deasy will remain “on special assignment”
with the district until the end of the year.

Take the Vergara v.
California trial, which in June overturned state’s laws governing teacher
tenure, seniority and dismissal. Deasy was the prosecution’s star witness.
According to Zimmer, who supports some of the changes in teacher-protection,
Deasy never even discussed the case with the school board. Zimmer was
particularly disturbed that Deasy seemed to enjoy taking down laws that were
put in place to protect the 28,000 teachers he leads.
His friends. ..
“Former Los Angeles
mayor Antonio Villaraigosa brought Deasy into the district with backing from
billionaire Eli Broad, with the hope of growing the charter school system,
confronting the teachers union, and changing the terms of teacher employment in
Los Angeles
He is a 2006 graduate
of a superintendent-training program funded by Broad, who favors teacher
evaluations based on test scores.”

financiers of the campaign of Marshall Tuck for California Superintendent of
Public Instruction. See

This is not guilt by association. This is recognizing the network of supporters for this group of “alleged” school reformers. Perhaps if Tuck looses the election, he can apply for this open job.
