Dolton school official suspended for questioning use of $13 million
DOLTON , Ill. â A Dolton school district official claimed in a federal lawsuit she was put on unpaid leave after raising concerns over the use of $13 million in federal funds.Sonya Whitaker, the deputy superintendent at Dolton West School District 148 said she was put on paid, and then unpaid leave, when she started asking about the $13 million in federal elementary and secondary school emergency relief funds and wondered who spent it.
'Whitaker said she wanted to know where $13 million of federal money, meant to be for elementary and secondary school-aged children, went.'The only response was a letter to suspend her,' said S. Todd Yeary, an attorney for Whitaker.In a lawsuit filed in federal court, her council argued she asked for an audience with the board president, with members of the Board of Education, and with the superintendent, but never received one.
