The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a complaint against Fresno Unified for failure to comply with the legal requirements pertaining to its local control and accountability plan.
The ACLU says the district violated its legal obligations to adequately justify supplemental and concentration fund allocations to special education programs, employee supports, middle school re-designs, custodial supports and Fresno Police Department spending.
The organization says the district continues to pay for police programs to monitor district students and make other “inexplicable expenditures with S&C funds that shortchanges high-need students of essential services.” It says it has reiterated to the district its legal obligation to use S&C funds to increase or improve services specifically for low-income, english-learner or foster youth students.
A district spokesman could not be reached for comment on Friday evening.
