School Chief Arrested for Covering Fraud | Bakersfield News

Roxanne Romero, former chief administrator of personnel for Tehachapi Unified School District, has been arrested on multiple felony charges including embezzlement and theft — allegations tied to her failure to act as a whistleblower after learning of widespread fraud by a former financial advisor who falsified documents and concealed mismanagement. Police say Romero knowingly gave false assurances to parents, staff, and law enforcement despite being aware of the misconduct as early as 2022, potentially enabling further deception. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities probing whether others were involved. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
