ARVIN TUCKER, BISD LEAD AUDITOR PLACED ON LEAVE

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

The rumor mill has been working overtime in the hallways of the Brownsville Independent School District on what could possibly have triggered the administration placing district lead auditor Arvin Tucker on administrative leave.

Image result for arvin tucker, brownsville texasSpeculation abounds on the reason since sources say that Tucker had told board members of his plans to resign and later apparently changed his mind.

Tucker had been the target of sharp criticism from the board's audit committee on a number issues. In one of those meeting, members of the committee complained that Tucker had been evasive and non-responsive to their questions. In some cases he directed their questions to his secretary.

Tucker came to the BISD from the City of Brownsville where he performed several audits that were linked to the demotion and eventual termination of former Brownsville Fire Department Chief Carlos Elizondo. Elizondo at the time was a board member at the BISD and many saw his employment with the district as a quid pro quo.

His audit report on the purchase of soccer championship rings ignored the fact that emails existed which showed that former BISD superintendent Esperanza Zendejas had personal knowledge of who ordered them five days after the fact. Yet, Tucker's report six months later stated no one knew who had ordered them from Herrf Jones, the ring maker with links to former board member Joe Rodriguez.

These are but a few of the issues that plagued Tucker at the BISD.
This story is far from over. We'll try to keep El Rrun-Rrun's seven readers abreast of events happening in the district.

Was he caught up in the scam, or did he just get too close to the truth, all will be revealed soon.

Is he a CPA? I doubt it if he came from the city, where they have ZERO CPa's on staff. Not even the guy that was in charge there for 1000 years was a CPA.
Why does this place need professionals when the Cabler cronys do so well? No engineer at city works, no planner at planning, no auditor at city auditor...etc etc

Juan,

He was caught selling his magical detox juice! I saw that Jessica even uses it! It’s a big hit!

Him and the "has been there 50 years" need to be questioned by the FBI and they'll sing like a canary.

Classic problem at Bisd

Employees do as their told to keep their jobs and then lose their job when those they covered for are voted out of office or leave (with a check of course)

Letting employees who have to feed their families pointing fingers at one another in a blame game

The real problems are gone
