Heard that the new FCPS auditor has been on paid leave for a couple months. Has there been any news on this? What happened and why is this not in the news?

http://www.wusa9.com/news/local/fairfax-schools-put-auditor-on-paid-leave/326321167

There will be an emergency lunch meeting at 11:30 am on Wednesday, October 5th, at Maggiano's for all Admins to discuss these vital issues. RSVP to Karen or Steve at 571.423.1010 by COB Tuesday.

Use of the county credit cards is authorized.

Maybe she found something nasty on the Super.

A more logical reason is that the auditor was preparing a report that was related to the School Board's spending. Since Garza and the School Board have been hand in hand with the spending plan since Garza's arrival there was only one possible thing that they could do! It is possible that they made a mistake and actually hired an auditor with some integrity. The arrangement of an auditor's office reporting to the School Board never made sense because from the beginning it had the odor of the fox guarding the chicken house all over it.

The School Board is supposed to be objective, but alas, 'tis not to be. They jump right in bed with the employees and gang up against the citizens they are supposed to be responsible to.

Did this coincide with Garza's resignation? I'm sure they are keeping this quiet until after they try to pass the meals tax. Don't want the public to know they may be blowing millions before they give the voters a chance to vote for giving them more millions to blow!

Did a google on the auditor. The group she worked for prior to FCPS was reported to being investigated for fraud.......Sounds like SB did not do due diligence when the auditor was hired.

This is the group the auditor worked for before FCPS. She left there about the time the investigation was going. There is more, if you google, from earlier this summer. Maybe that is why she was put on leave.

Is the auditor's last name really what I see? Any relation?

Is anyone surprised that Ryan McElveen has taken point on the coverup?

Frankly, the school board needs an enema.

Doubtful. She is Iranian--or, at least, she speaks Farsi.

Good spot on the language. And I Apassume if there was a relation this would have made news.

They like to be referred to as "Persian" and they love dealing with money.

School board definitely screwed up again - hiring an auditor who is tied to financial fraud, illegal operations, and mismanagement. Way to go FCPS! Why don't they fire this auditor general instead of putting her on paid leave? How much is she making?

Several school board members, including Ryan McElveen, claim they cannot discuss the matter of the auditor:

https://fairfaxvotenoonthemealstax.wordpress.com/2016/10/01/vote-no-on-the-meals-tax-ryan-mcelveens-behavior-calls-for-an-explanation/

This is unacceptable. Citizens deserve transparency and accountability.

They can't and don't have to discuss personnel issues. Even if we are paying all of their salaries. Even if we are paying their salaries and they are not working.

Has anybody checked the court system?

Under what circumstances can/will FCPS put someone on PAID leave? This needs to be laid out. FCPS needs to demonstrate, to some level, that the rules are being followed with respect to the auditor.

In addition to the issue of the auditor's leave is the auditor's function. This is an important function, how is it being carried out while the auditor is on leave?

It is interesting that this auditor was found as the result of a "nationwide search." Maybe some more information on the details of that search needs to come out, as it seems, perhaps, that best practices for due diligence were not followed.

According to the 4812, probably the Super.

That could be a problem as the auditor works for the school board. As usual, FCPS is messed up.

The auditor REPORTS to the School Board. Everybody works for the school system. Everybody works for the School Board. The School Board turns over everything to the Super.

Being a Super is the closest thing to being a dictator you are going to see in the United States.

I agree. This doesn't make sense to have somebody on the inside monitoring the inside, particularly when the inside is totally corrupt and inbred.

The Auditor is kind of on the inside and kind of on the outside, but not really. Yet, maybe sort of.

http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/AACHJU48B03D/$file/P1105.pdf

Maybe the School Board Chairman approves the Admin Leave.
It is an interesting point, but in the long run, they are all in cahoots.

I want to see where it says the board can't discuss the auditor. If they fired her they fired her. If it is something else they need to provide some information on this. A big problem with FCPS is failing to release information, how can they expect people to vote them a meals tax with case after case after case of crap like this?

Personnel issues are exempt from the Virginia FOIA.

How much are we paying this lady to not work?

Since the Auditor's previous employer, SourceAmerica, was being investigated for financial corruption in early 2015, why would FCPS hire her in Aug. 2015?? Seriously, doesn't the SB check these things out?

The "nationwide" searches that cost FCPS tons of money do not seem to be working. It would be better if they submitted candidates' names to a group of great researchers, i.e. teachers, and they would come up with the background info that the search firms seem to miss. Or the school board should appoint one of their members to do research independent of the firms. From this one it would appear the student rep could have done a better job.

Maybe she was leaving her/looking for a new job due to the corruption.

Fair point, however, why does she refuse to talk to the press and clarify things?

Do you understand the role the auditor plays in a company? She had been the auditor for quite some time. Google this--there is a WikiLeaks online about this company. She may not have been involved, but she made some poor decisions.

Lawyers. Lawyers. Lawyers. A lawsuit naming our new auditor was filed with a court. Our lawyers recommended the auditor be placed on administrative leave until she is cleared of the charges or until she is fired. The Superintendent has the authority. She will designate a member of the board to handle any further determinations in this regard before her resignation takes effect. The lawyers have advised the SB to keep their mouths shut because of the lawsuit. There, now everyone can STFU!

How about we make up something like this:



The Fairfax County School Board has placed auditor general Goli Trump on administrative leave through the November presidential election.

The removal of Trump is “the latest step in the board’s efforts to make the School Board audit function appear independent,” said School Board Chairman Pat Hynes.

As to Trump, “we have every confidence that her skills might be beneficial to FCPS as we ramp up our efforts to appear fiscally efficient,” Hynes said. "But we just can't have someone with that name on staff at this time."

Trump most recently served as director of enterprise risk management and assurance for SourceAmerica, a national nonprofit that works to provide job opportunities for adults with disabilities. She has more than 25 years of experience in the field.

So, like I said earlier, somebody pull the court records. This is actually believable and falls under the reasons stated for being placed on administrative leave.

Come on, FFU! Remember, you hear it first on FFU. Power to the people.

Being named as a witness is one thing, as a defendant is another. I've been through lawsuits, being a witness is far from a full time job. Being a defendant can be another story. If her past activities are interfering with her job, they should let her go, plain and simple.

I still want to know how much she's getting paid not to work and what FCPS is doing to ensure continuity.

Oh yes, what's this training in Colorado Zuluaga and Garza have run off to? Why is Garza getting ANYTHING now that she's resigned? I get that there is some provision for training for school board members, but that does not apply to Zuluaga. Maybe he is being trained on how to do some work?

++++++++Well, I haven't done either, so if you are so experienced, then find the court records and post them.

++++++++++It is very easy to find out how much she gets paid. Who is doing her work is another story.

+++++++++++You can easily find out what the trip to Colorado is about. The WHY is another story.

what your not seeing is when there is allot of musical chairs for jobs and lost records it becomes impossible to say "hey this person didn't live up to gov standards or that of their predecessors from the 80's, got paid too much, and skipped TOWN"

your not seeing that lack of accountability is required in making shell games

fx co gov sought this person from TEXAS despite that the county had PLEANTY of doctors who were and are still un-employed or badly under-employed

seeing water and road work %98 mexican workers for the 30 years democrats have had control of fairfax county, seeing the contracts are with companies OUTSIDE OF THE STATE of virginia, you can wonder if there arent corrupt (and political) hiring practices in that other state (if infact the shell company outside the state exists!!!!)

point? they give you the news. do you beleive it on the face?

never take news at face value. always reason through what can have happened and where the money is, follow the money and then also the motive

falls church cucs win again!

they can now blame all missing money on one person, as if she were an obama LOW IS LEARNER (lois learner) taking the blame for all of the IRS problems - as if they were not really the result of years of dems infiltrating the IRS with "city slickers and foreigners"

LOVE THIS.

So Goli Trump, FCPS auditor on paid leave, was a senior director for many years at a company now being investigated for financial corruption? Sounds like a winner. Who hired this crook and why is she still wasting taxpayer money by collecting a paycheck for sitting at home all day?

Apparently, the company was already being investigated when she was hired by FCPS. Did FCPS not investigate at all? Who was the hiring authority--school board or Garza?

They were probably snookered by the fact that she worked for a "non profit" and, therefore, was a good person.

1. The School Board hired her.
2. It could very well be a situation where she has not been convicted of anything (yet), so there aren't any grounds for termination, yet she is in such a precarious position, that she should not be active in a position like this.

The question is how long can this go on? Has anybody checked into the court situation?

Regarding the two "facts"- these are not necessarily related. Two entirely different items.

1. She worked for a non-profit. That's a given.
2. Was she a good person? Working for a non-profit does not necessarily equate with being a good person.

Let's guess her monthly salary. I will open at $10,500.

Actually, after reviewing this list of the Gatehouse six-figure club, I think I will revise my guess up to about $12,000. Theresa Weatherman works for her and made about $125,000 back when this list was posted a few years ago. The Comptroller (Shakeel Yusuf) made about $134,000.

Anybody know how much she is getting paid?

Anybody check the courts yet?

I don't feel like reading, but she is mentioned in this transcript of a tape on Wikileaks:

https://wikileaks.org/sourceamerica-tapes/transcript2/tr2.pdf

Let us know if anyone finds anything here. Quick glance for her name found "our internal auditor, Goli Trump, who's another crazy one" and several other references with Goli's name.

Here's a PACER search on her. She's not a party to any case in the federal courts.

She could be a witness or a party in a state/local case.
Attachments:

No contract. "No records."
Pretty good money.
Attachments:

$154,230 a year. $12,852.50 per month.

So she is being paid $12000+ a month to not work?
Why doesn't she have a contract? What is the point behind that? If she doesn't have a signed commitment, why can't they just let her go?

I don't get it.

FCPS thinks they have access to an infinite supply of money.

They know they "need" and auditor but don't really want to have one. After all, a real auditor might have questioned the hiring of Menville "Flip" Flippen and the building of so many turf fields.

By having an auditor who is on leave with pay, they have an auditor without having an auditor function. By having the auditor be on leave they can say they don't have the money to get another one.

So it is a win for FCPS, they can hire someone's unemployed nephew to be the $200,000 JEB Stuart renaming consultant and some freak to be the transgender consultant.

They don't want the public to hear from an auditor until after they see how the meals tax goes....

Why has it been 3 months with no action or explanation. How hard can this be?

She probably found corruption and was put on paid leave until they could figure out what to do.they probably thought she was also couroput so they hired here and she is Persian and speaks Farsi and no relation to donald Trump here husbands last name is Trump who also has no relation to donald Trump

his is why they all resigned!

Then they had their cronies take their place!

In a lawsuit filed Nov. 1, 2019, the former auditor for Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) in Virginia, Goli Trump, said she was fired by school board president Sandy Evans in retaliation for pursuing an investigation into Cenergistic that implicated superintendent Karen Garza as well as Evans herself.

As soon as FCPS created an independent auditor’s office, an employee of FCPS — one of the largest school districts in the country — told her “Cenergistic’s purported energy savings were not true and were in fact costing FCPS considerable sums of money,” the lawsuit said. The whistleblower, known as John Doe in the lawsuit, said he faced retaliation after reporting his concerns to supervisors.

“Moreover, John Doe pointed out that Cenergistic was supposed to receive payments in an amount equal to 50% of the realized energy savings by FCPS; although Cenergistic said it had saved FCPS $5 million, it had billed FCPS $4 million, and John Doe had been unable to find anyone who could explain this result,” the lawsuit said.

He also said “that the Cenergistic contract did not comply with public procurement requirements.” (RELATED: Flint To Rescind Lead-Pipe Contract From Lowest Bidder And Award It To Politically Connected Firm)

Trump attempted to obtain a copy of the contract “from the FCPS contract register, which is supposed to contain a copy of all contracts entered into by FCPS. She learned, however, that the contract with Cenergistic was not available through the contract register, nor could anyone in the procurement office explain why an important contract of this nature for millions of dollars would not be available,” the suit said.

Trump informed the school board’s lawyer, John Foster, about her concerns but requested confidentiality because the ongoing investigation could involve top managers. Foster immediately tipped off Garza, the lawsuit said.

Trump then informed the school board that she intended to audit the Cenergistic contract, but Garza, school board member Janie Strauss, and chief operating officer Susan Quinn told her not to, which she found “suspicious,” given that “the Cenergistic contract presented all or many of the classic indicia of a contract at a high-risk of fraud, waste and abuse,” according to the lawsuit.

On June 17, 2016, a second whistleblower who worked in FCPS’ facilities department contacted Trump and made virtually identical allegations to the first whistleblower. He had no knowledge of the first whistleblower and also provided documents to support his claim, the suit said.

The second whistleblower said he had spent hundreds of hours trying to ascertain the basis for Cenergistic’s bills, but that Cenergistic had refused to explain. “He had no choice but to conclude that the bills and invoices submitted to FCPS by Cenergistic were, in fact, false,” the suit said.

The whistleblower’s supervisor, assistant superintendent for facilities Jeff Platenberg, “harassed him and ordered him to approve payment to Cenergistic despite the fact that Cenergistic’s invoices could not be reconciled or even understood,” it added.

Trump then obtained access to school system emails which showed that “it appeared that Platenberg had been paid to take numerous ‘marketing trips’ on behalf of Cenergistic.”

The emails also showed that “only days after Garza began her employment in 2013, she had been in touch with Cenergistic to discuss hiring them at FCPS.”

Days after Trump obtained the emails, FCPS fired the second whistleblower, and Trump was called in by the human resources department, who told her that an anonymous complaint had been filed against her, according to the suit.

Evans then ordered her not to investigate Cenergistic without approval from superintendent Garza, the lawsuit alleged.

“In a phone call on Aug. 1, 2016, [Trump] informed Evans that she felt she could not do that because Garza was a subject of the investigation and to do that would compromise the integrity of the investigation,” it said.

HR then attempted to physically remove confidential investigative material from the office of the auditor, which is supposed to be entirely independent from the school bureaucracy, the suit said.

“Plaintiff realized the situation was truly becoming critical and began contacting outside law enforcement agencies, including the Virginia State Police,” the lawsuit stated.

Evans prevented Trump from speaking with other members of the school board — collectively Trump’s immediate boss — and Garza told the board that Trump was being placed on leave, according to the suit.

An outside law firm then took over the Cenergistic investigation. “That investigation ended on or about Sept. 19, 2016. Two days later, on Sept. 21, 2016, Garza suddenly resigned from FCPS only two weeks into the new school year and only three months after signing a new contract with FCPS that would last through 2020,” the lawsuit said.

Even so, Trump was fired the next month, leading to the lawsuit filed against FCPS in Fairfax County Circuit Court.

FCPS spokesman John Torre declined to comment for this story, telling the Daily Caller News Foundation: “This matter involves active litigation and is also related to a personnel matter so our policy is not to comment.”

Holy shit!

Why is this not front page news in every Northern Virginia publication?

The liberal media ignored it and all democrats were elected to the school board.
Democracy dies in darkness

They fired a Trump. Who can argue with that?

Besides, now there is no IG to figure out what went wrong with Blackboard.

FCPS, where the C stands for Coverup.

Anyone know if this lawsuit ever made it to court? Can't find anything online.
