Parents unhappy with audit Board promises to rebuild trust

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

Parents in the Mountain View Whisman School District aren’t satisfied by a state audit that cleared former Superintendent Ayinde Rudolph of fraud but detailed his credit card spending without receipts, luxury hotel stays in Manhattan and San Francisco, and a contract with a “master energy healer” who meditated with administrators for over $1,000 a session. Discussing the audit on Thursday, board members vowed to continue improving the district’s financial processes and controls to rebuild trust in the community.

THE UPDATE

U.S. TAKES INTEL STAKE:

President Trump said that Intel has agreed to give the U.S. government a 10% stake in its business. Trump said the deal came out of a meeting last week with Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan — which came days after the president called for Tan to resign over his past ties to China. The federal government’s share of Intel comes to $10.8 billion.

BOLTON RAID: The FBI yesterday searched the Maryland home and Washington office of former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton as part of a criminal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information.

HULK’S DEATH: Hulk Hogan may have died from medical malpractice, says an occupational therapist who was at the wrestler’s side when he died in Clearwater, Fla., in July. TMZ says a nerve that helps control breathing was severed during neck surgery before he died.

“I have failed to fulfill my responsibility as a fiduciary to the Mountain View Whisman School District,” board

member Bill Lambert said. “Going forward, I am committed to working with the other board members, the superintendent and the staff to ensure that there is effective, meaningful and transparent oversight of the district’s finances.”

The state’s Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team reviewed the

district’s credit card spending and contracts from July 2022 to October 2024, when Rudolph resigned.

Auditors found insufficient evidence to indicate that fraud, misappropriation of funds or other illegal fiscal practices may have occurred.

But the report shed light on Rudolph’s activities while he was superintendent, particularly regarding travel.

Officers testify about retaliation

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

The removal hearing for San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus yesterday revealed 38 internal affairs investigations she has left sitting with no action, during an emotional day of testimony.

Lt. Dan Reynolds was the last person to testify yesterday, saying Corpus and Undersheriff Dan Perea have mismanaged the sheriff’s office by not taking action on internal affairs investigations. There were 12 internal, 13 uses of force and 13 civilian investigations pending, according to Reynolds when he transferred out of internal affairs.

The mismanagement “erodes public trust,” Reynolds said during the fifth day of a 10-day hearing that could result in the removal of the sheriff.

It was Reynolds’s job to oversee in-

Districts agree to a deal

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

The Mountain View Whisman School District has reached a deal to sell 50 apartments at its teacher housing project for $54.5 million to the Foothill-DeAnza Community College District.

The sale offsets the school district’s costs to buy the land underneath the 144-unit apartment building at 699 N. Shoreline Blvd.

Of those, 46 apartments have been rented by school employees, and six have been rented by city employees.

The sale makes vacant units easier to fill, reduces operating

For 50 apartments

costs for the school district and creates a pathway to lower rents, Superintendent Jeff Baier said in a report for the board.

The board will consider approving the sale on Monday night.

Spearheaded by ex-supe

The housing project was spearheaded by former Superintendent Ayinde Rudolph shortly after he was hired in June 2015.

But Rudolph went against recommendations to use district-owned land and instead partnered with a private developer,

Miramar Capital, that was adding apartments on the neighboring property.

District’s costs

The district spent $85 million on construction and signed a a 55-year, $1.9 million ground lease with the property owner that increased with inflation at 699 N. Shoreline Boulevard.

The ground lease was driving up rents, so Baier announced on July 10 that the district would buy 1.8 acres underneath the building for $53.5 million.

The board will be transferring management to a nonprofit.

Man faces jail for lewd texts

A Redwood City man who tried to meet his 17-year-old co-worker for sex is facing two years in jail, a prosecutor said yesterday.

Pouya Asrar, 38, took a plea deal yesterday for contacting a minor for lewd purposes, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Shin-Mee Chang.

Asrar, a married Samsung engineer, was arrested in November 2023 after getting caught in a sting by Redwood City police, police said at the time.

Asrar had initiated a text-based chat conversation with the teenager, whom he had met a few days before as co-workers at the tutoring center Mathnasium in Sequoia Station.

The teen informed Asrar of her age, Asrar acknowledged that she was 17 and continued the conversation anyway, police said.

The messages became lewd and sexual in nature, police said at the time.

Police detectives were able to get Asrar to a location where he thought he was going to meet with the girl to have sex. Instead, he was arrested. Police searched him and found condoms.

Asrar will be sentenced on Nov. 20.

said she approved paying President Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit against CBS News because she was afraid Trump’s lawyers would discover outtakes of a 2023 “60 Minutes” interview with then-President Joe Biden. Redstone was concerned CBS would be accused of editing the interview to conceal the fact that correspondent Scott Pelley had to prompt Biden to answer questions.

INTEREST RATES: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell yesterday opened the door ever so slightly to lowering a key interest rate in the coming months but gave no hint on the timing of a move. Powell’s reluctance to lower rates has resulted in high interest rates on mortgages, keeping many Amerians from buying homes.

VISA SCRUTINY: The State Department is investigating 55 million people who have U.S. visas for any violations that could lead to deportation. The department is looking for people staying on an overdue visa, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity or providing support to a terrorist organization.

GENERAL FIRED: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth yesterday fired Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, whose leaked intelligence assessment underestimated the damage U.S. bombs did to Iran nuclear sites.

PARENTS ---

Rudolph went to eight conferences in 2023 and took seven trips in 2024, the audit said.

A trip to New York City in February 2024 stood out because Rudolph and his group stayed at a hotel next to Central Park at rates up to $709 per night. The group was planning to visit schools, but many schools were closed for winter break. They ended up visiting one charter school in the area, the report said.

Rudolph told auditors that he chose the hotel because of its location near cultural attractions “that could enhance the educational purpose of the trip.”

‘None of this is reasonable’

“Whether or not you call this fraud — none of this is reasonable. None of it defensible,” parent Mohan Gurunathan said on Thursday. “What happened has caused lasting pain, division, and loss of trust in this district.”

Parent Shawn Dormishan encouraged new Superintendent Jeff Baer to call a cigar bar in Washington, D.C., where Rudolph said he spent $76 on lunch.

“He most likely lied in those interviews, and I think that would give reason to pursue possible criminal charges,” Dormishan said.

Called out for hotels

Parent Nhung Liu called out Rudolph for staying at St. Regis in San Francisco during the California School Boards Association conference for $3,000.

In comparison, Meta makes its employees commute to events in San Francisco, and when they book hotels

they have to show there’s not a cheaper hotel nearby, Liu said.

The board has three new members — Charles DiFazio, Lisa Henry and Ana Reed — that were elected in November on platforms of change.

Since Rudolph resigned, the district has updated its travel policy, canceled contracts and subscriptions, reined in credit card usage and established a Budget Advisory Committee.

New policies ahead

In the coming months, the board will consider new policies for contracts and bids.

“A result that there’s no fraud doesn’t mean, to me, that we’re fine to go on exactly as before,” Henry said. “There are a lot of cultural things that have been changing but are going to take a lot of work.”

Lambert, who was on the board from 2012 to 2016 and returned in 2022, said the district had a $40 million budget at the end of his first stint.

Ten years later, and the district has a $130 million budget and two bond measures totaling $450 million.

The district failed to put in professional accounting procedures and bond oversight to match that growth, Lambert said.

“We should’ve been doing this all along,” he said.

RETIRE –––

mer Mayor Liz Kniss said Stump was a cautious lawyer who always did her homework, which gave council a lot of confidence.

“Without question, she was an excellent attorney and also very generous in praising her staff and how they did. And I think she had good relationships

“People you know and trust” Honoring all Pre-need Arrangements Cremations and Burials Services ~ Before need Planning

FD1825 www.crippenflynn.com

with everyone on council,” Kniss said in an interview yesterday.

Many of the lawsuits the city was involved in during Stump’s tenure ended in legal settlements.

Big settlements

The largest settlement was with resident Miriam Green, who filed a class-action suit on behalf of the city’s utilities customers, alleging they were overcharged on their natural gas bills.

The city agreed to refund customers a total of $17.3 million in September 2022.

In February, the city agreed to pay $3.5 million to resident Carina Rossner, who said she was permanently disabled from a crash at a dangerous intersection on Middlefield Road

Council, after getting hit by a lawsuit from the NAACP and ACLU, voted 5-2 in November 2020 to drop the Palo Alto residents-only restriction on Foothills Park.

The city also settled five lawsuits alleging police brutality for over six figures.

Police cases

In February 2016, the city paid $250,000 to Tyler Harney over a traffic stop during which his arm was broken.

Police claimed that both of the dash cameras that could have recorded the incident were broken at the time, and the city settled just before an expert was brought in to inspect the cameras to see if any tampering took place.

In April 2018, the city paid $250,000 to Tajae Murray, a black Palo Alto High School senior who was mauled by a police dog outside the 7-Eleven at 401 Waverley St.

In November 2019, the city paid $572,500 to Buena Vista Mobile Home

Park resident Gustavo Alvarez, who was slammed into the hood of a car by former Sgt. Wayne Benitez in an incident caught on video.

In January 2022, the city paid $135,000 to Joel Alejo, who was bitten by a police dog while he slept in his backyard

In May 2022, the city paid $150,000 to Julio Arevalo for a body-slam arrest outside Happy Donuts.

In April 2024, the city paid $315,000 to longtime utilities worker John Reinert who alleged that he was forced out of work because of his age.

Currently, the city is fighting lawsuits related to the conversion of downtown parking to housing, a soccer player who was injured on artificial turf, a property owner who doesn’t like outdoor dining in front of her building and a cyclist who rode into a construction ditch and died.

‘An honor’

Stump declined an interview yesterday because she said most of her work is covered by mandatory confidentiality.

“It’s been an honor to come to work every day to solve problems and support projects and activities that improve community life,” Stump said in a statement released by the city. “Rebuilding Palo Alto’s libraries, constructing affordable housing, creating innovative programs to fight climate change – these are a few of the many things my team and I have contributed to over the years. I look forward to supporting the council to bring the best leader to Palo Alto for the challenges ahead.”

“Molly has been an extraordinary advisor and colleague, providing invaluable guidance to the city’s work on behalf of the Palo Alto com-

munity. She will be sorely missed by our entire team,” said City Manager Ed Shikada.

The Council Appointed Officers Committee will meet Sept. 9 to discuss the recruitment of Stump’s replacement. Last year, council gave Stump a 6% raise. Her salary is $365,266 plus benefits and $33,082 paid into her retirement plan.

TESTIFY –––

ternal affairs investigations at the time, he said. Reynolds would follow up with Perea, but he would say, “It’s not a quick matter,” he said.

In Reynolds’ opinion, it was a “straightforward task,” he said.

Reynolds was ordered to place Sgt. Joe Fava on leave. Reynolds said it didn’t align with his values, leading him to request being transferred out of the internal affairs department.

Fava also testified yesterday. He testified about three internal affairs investigations that were delayed due to Corpus and Perea not taking action.

The three investigations were when a correctional officer strangled an inmate, a teenager vaped in the passenger seat of a deputy’s car and two correctional officers made an inmate dance provocatively.

Fava was placed on leave shortly after the Post reported on the three investigations because they were included in a report by attorney Jan Little that was a precursor to yesterday’s proceedings.

Corpus’ attorney Christopher Ulrich asked Fava if he had ever leaked any information. Fava responded that the question was “disturbing.”

Tearful testimony

Two former employees who supported Corpus held back tears during their testimonies.

Former Capt. Brian Philip, who supported Corpus when she ran for sheriff,

said that his career in law enforcement ended after he refused to arrest union president Carlos Tapia.

Brook Dooley, an attorney for the county, asked Philip about another meeting he had with Perea about Tapia’s arrest.

Perea closed the door, turned on a white noise machine that eliminates the possibility of eavesdropping, and said to “sit down, it’s going to be one of those meetings,” Philip said.

Perea then ordered him to place Tapia under arrest, Philip said.

Philip considered it an illegal arrest and was going to go to the DA’s office to report it, but Perea ordered him to sit back down, Philip said.

Instead, Philip placed his badge on the table and slid it towards Perea and said that wasn’t what he signed up for, Philip said, choking up and holding back tears.

Recalls resignation

Former Assistant Sheriff Matthew Fox, who spoke with hesitation, continued his testimony from Thursday, mostly talking about the day he resigned from the sheriff’s office.

Fox led the investigation into Tapia that led to his arrest on Nov. 12, hours before the county released a damning report by retired Judge LaDoris Cordell, saying Corpus and former chief of staff Victor Aenlle used intimidation and retaliation to run the office.

Fox started choking up, holding back tears, when he was asked why he resigned from the sheriff’s office on Nov. 14.

Mystery call

Fox said he started thinking about resigning earlier that day, when he was driving over the San Mateo Bridge to pick up his children. He noticed he missed a call from Aenlle, so he called him back, Fox said. Aenlle asked him if he was in the office.

Fox then called Perea for information. Perea only told Fox that he didn’t want to participate in anything, didn’t know anything and didn’t do anything illegal, Fox said.

“My head started spinning at that point,” Fox said with tears running down his face. Fox said he went through the Cordell report and didn’t know about the allegations surrounding the sheriff because his focus had been on Aenlle.

Fox was always supportive of Corpus and helped her during her campaign by arranging signs to be placed around Daly City when she was running for sheriff, he said.

Clowns in the office

Mazzucco asked Fox about the “clowns in the sheriff’s office” who were not supportive of Corpus, but the hearing officer, retired Judge James Emerson, told him not to use that language.

“I can say there are people in the organization that didn’t want her to be successful,” Fox said. He said he had never seen this type of behavior in law enforcement.

Mazzucco asked Fox to read an email he sent Corpus on Nov. 28, about two weeks after he resigned.

“From my first days, I always wanted to show up for you, the (sheriff’s office) and carry out your vision each day,” Fox slowly read while crying and grabbing tissues to wipe his tears. “I was always your biggest supporter and still root for you amongst all the odds and gang mentality you face.”

Supporting Fox

Mazzucco would say supportive things to Fox while he was reading the email, and Emerson told Mazzucco it seemed like he was about to hold his hand while reading and to step away from Fox. Mazzucco asked Fox about the “gang” he mentioned in his email. Fox said a “band of people” didn’t

want to see Corpus succeed. Lt. Jonathan Sebring, who questioned Aenlle’s background file because he was previously the subject of a criminal investigation, also testified. He was concerned about how this exposure could affect Corpus and the agency, so he spoke to Corpus, Sebring said. Corpus was gracious for bringing it to her attention and said she didn’t know Aenlle “like that,” according to Sebring.

Corpus later called Sebring and asked who else could access the file and if it was possible to make it visible to only him and her, Sebring said.

“I was surprised, but complied,” Sebring said. Corpus later promoted him to lieutenant.

Promotion a surprise

Sebring was surprised he was promoted because he needed a bachelor’s degree for the position, but Corpus removed the requirement, he said.

Sebring testified about an incident where he helped Jenna McAlpin, a civilian employee who worked for Aenlle. McAlpin told Sebring that Aenlle accused her of posting denigrating content about Corpus on social media.

Sebring said he reported the incident to Monaghan and recommended McAlpin report it to HR.

Sebring said Corpus thanked him for handling the situation, but that there are always two sides to every story. Corpus made a comment saying McAlpin was “mentally unstable,” Sebring said.

Weeks later, Aenlle went to Sebring’s office, shut the door and told him he didn’t appreciate how he handled the situation, he said.

Not long after, Sebring was transferred to work at the jail. He said he was disappointed and knew it was for helping McAlpin.

Cross-examination from Corpus’s legal team to question Lt. Reynolds will start on Monday.
