Whether the Los Angeles Unified School District's  (LAUSD) Superintendent John Deasy is criminally culpable for his actions in dealing with Pearson and Apple on behalf of the district concerning his clearly collusive actions in complete derogation of the public bidding process designed to get the best contract price and terms for the district should be determined by a criminal cause of action brought by the Los Angeles District Attorney. In addition, any other state or federal governmental authority that sees the potential violation of law in Deasy's specifically intended actions might also consider filing charges. Only such a forum is designed to get at the truth in this matter, because it has the legal process, e.g. discovery, deposition, and the compulsory gathering of relevant evidence that up until now has been retained and stonewalled by LAUSD in this IPad affair and many other questionable actions that LAUSD, Deasy, and present and prior administrators have engaged in without any public scrutiny. Surely, such a defective process remains a formula designed to foster continued improper actions that have finally become public in the IPad affair.

Whether such a court proceeding would find Superintendent Deasy guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the standard that such a prosecution would have to achieve, is not the question. What is the question is finally having a dispassionate and unbias examination of what has gone on in the present IPad fiasco and other similar actions that have occurred under Deasy's regime at LAUSD that continues to allow LAUSD to avoid any public scrutiny of its actions.

And when Stewart Magruder, who sat on the oversight committee at LAUSD tried to question Deasy's ramroding of the IPad deal with Pearson and Apple down the district's throat, he wasn't listened to, he was removed. What better argument could one make for having an unbias and dispassionate examination of Deasy and LAUSD's actions regarding the IPad deal by a neutral appropriate judicial forum. Clearly, and at the very least, if Deasy was a teacher, he would have already been pull from his job until an in depth investigation had taken place.  (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-board-reappoints-ipad-critic-20140617-story.html). 

Up until now, LAUSD has stonewalled any attempt to examine what they have done in any arena to see if it is kosher. In my own whistle blower complaint against LAUSD involving the graduating of students and giving diplomas to students with low elementary school reading and math abilities, the LAUSD Office of Inspector General gave the investigation to the very people I CRIMINAL CHARGES SHOULD BE BROUGHT AGAINST LAUSD'S SUPERINTENDENT JOHN DEASY - Perdaily.com:
