Whistle-blower: Carolyn Graham asked schools to pay for seminar

D.C. School Board Vice President Carolyn Graham asked the school system to pay for a motivational speaker who addressed her private ministry, a whistle-blower has told investigators.

Steve Kapani, a financial analyst who worked in the board’s charter schools office, told investigators that Graham intervened after the school district’s finance office rejected a request to pay for the speaker, a source familiar with the investigation told The Examiner.
