The California Department Education is investigating an employee over ‘inappropriate emails’
The California Department of Education is investigating an employee for allegedly sending “inappropriate emails,” the department tweeted late Tuesday.
It is unclear who sent the emails, or what they said. People close to the department said they had no information.
“The California Department of Education (CDE) has been made aware that a CDE employee has been allegedly sending out inappropriate emails. We are investigating and taking immediate action,” spokesman Bill Ainsworth said in a statement. “These emails in no way reflect the views of the California Department of Education. We expect CDE employees to conduct themselves using the highest professional standards.”
Ainsworth declined to comment further, saying it was a “personnel matter” and therefore was private.
