The Pasadena Unified School District has placed its top facilities manager on leave and suspended or terminated five consultant contracts in the wake of an apparent inquiry into the handling of the district’s $350-million Measure TT school construction bond.
School District Chief Facilities Officer David Azcárraga was placed on leave Wednesday, said school district spokesman Adam Wolfson.
The district also suspended its contract with bond manager Robin Brown, a consultant who oversees all Measure TT contracts and projects, Wolfson said. Brown was being paid up to $312,000 per year at a rate of $150 per hour, according to district documents.
Officials additionally terminated contracts with two other individuals and two companies also overseeing bond funds, said Wolfson.
