School Board Spells Out Sanctions Taken Against Boardmember Charlene Tabet in Censure Resolution
The Board found persuasive evidence that Trustee Tabet:
- Failed to disclose a financial conflict of interest in a $90,000 contract approved on September 5, 2024, with a vendor later revealed to be connected to her.
- Formed a company (Specialized Support Services, LLC) on December 5, 2024—the same day the District issued its first payment under the contract.
- Used her daughter’s name to conceal her own financial interest in the contract.
- Participated in the vote and approval process for the contract without recusal or disclosure.
- Received and deposited District payments through the LLC, with evidence suggesting she personally benefited.
- Failed to provide adequate documentation for services allegedly rendered under the contract.
