SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – New Mexico State Police are investigating a case involving the Santa Fe Public Schools and its buses. The school district reported concerning allegations against an employee to police at the end of August, and NMSP launched an embezzlement investigation.
The district’s Transportation Department is the target, according to preliminary police reports KRQE News 13 has obtained. Police are looking into whether a supervisor, who oversaw the mechanics, was making money off of the district’s vehicles – like school buses – that were traded in when the district was getting new ones.
