LYNWOOD — Agents from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office of Public Integrity raided the Lynwood Unified School District’s headquarters Thursday.

Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the D.A.’s office, confirmed that search warrants were executed at district LUSD headquarters, as part of an investigation into allegations of misuse of public funds by the district’s former superintendent.

Dhyan Lal was released from his contract last summer by the school board.

Robison said she could not confirm when the investigation began, but said that Thursday’s raid stems from an “ongoing investigation.”

More than 15 agents arrived at the district’s headquarters on Bullis Road around 8 a.m., and from talk throughout the district office, they focused most of their attention on the superintendent’s office, the business manager’s office and the computer/tech department.

Initial reports said investigators also included agents from the FBI and the U.S. Marshall’s office, but district officials confirmed later that agents were only from the D.A.’s office.

Agents, working under lead investigator Lt. Steve DePrima, were seen sorting through file cabinets inside the superintendent’s office, moving computer equipment from office to office, and interviewing several individuals who work at the district offices.

By 1:30 p.m., agents left the headquarters carrying several boxes and three computers.

In a statement, interim Superintendent Patrick Leier said the district attorney’s office is investigating allegations that Lal engaged in inappropriate campaign activities. Leier ended the statement by reminding the public that “At this time, only allegations exist.”

Asked if he knew what agents were looking for, Leier said they could take whatever they want, whatever they need.

It was reported that the superintendent's computer was one of the computers the agents confiscated.

They approved Lal's no cut contract, they approved Lal getting the 5th highest administrative salary in all of LA County. They approved of incompetent middle school vice principal girlfriend Sally getting $156,000 per year (with no credential), They approved all of Lal's wife's relatives for jobs, they approved hiring of their own relatives, they allowed misappropriation of funds as shown in FCMAT.COM, they approved hiring of thug principals like Butler to drive out teachers Lal did not like (non supporters).

Why is she still employed there? why didnt she get in any trouble? Oh yeah its a "favor for a favor" "you cover for me and i cover for you"!! everyone knows!!

If I recall correctly the one who did rob from the children was border brother Mario and I think he did go to jail. We all know he is a fairy no need to add an adjective in front of his name, unless for some reason you hate gays. its because of ignorant people like you that this city/district is the way it is.

It is no secret that Solache is not the sharpest tool on the sheed, he is an idiot, incompetent, a moron, and more important very gullible. Dr Lal and Silverio played Solache like a fiddle, Solache was Dr. Lal's puppet and Lal knew it. Dr. Lal and Silverio probable promised Solache a bright political future if he followed their ideas, and Solache the moron fell for it.

Whistleblowers are great, but let's not lose sight of the fact that nobody is responsible for the mess the district is in except for those who created the mess. This tendency to transfer blame has got to stop.

Isn' it funny that everyone has something to say now. Where were you when you should have come forth with the information. Maybe if you would have spoken up earlier we would not be in this situation at thios time.

Wide spread incompetence. said on Friday, Mar 12 at 9:41 AM

Lynwood has a dysfunctional hush hush culture. It's all about getting paid without working. There is corruption at nearly every level. Back in the 90's when they had class sized reduction, they had to hire anybody with a heartbeat. Now the district is stuck with incompetent teachers and administrators. Many of these people uneducated, corrupt and inept. It's really sad because they cannot be fired.

Former Superintended Dhyan Lal is responsible for the lack of funds. He is to blame for the shortage of money and the HIRING of the former principal of F.H.S

There have been rumors for years about stealing money left and right. The board is also in it. Rumors are that Dr. Lal helped paid the rent for one of the board members' office. Dr. Lal brought relatives and gave them jobs at the district. He even gave a job to Sally Seko who supposedly was his lover. Didn't Dr. Lal buy used computers from a friend for several million dollars and those computers are so old and useless that they are in storage? Lots of things were bought and never made it to the classrooms. I am still waiting for markers and paper for my students. We teachers have to buy our own markers and we don’t get any extra materials for the classrooms. We are told that the district is broke and there is no money. Even when the district had a surplus of 20 million dollars, it was hard to get materials for the classroom!! Dr. Lal gave jobs as principals to his friends Silverio and Mazon, and they are bad principals. Mazon is still at Lynwood High.. All board members should resign

Most of us have to buy it ourselves. Dr. Lal gave jobs as principals to his friends Silverio and Mazon and they are bad principals. Mazon is still at Lynwood High. I am glad Silverio is getting what he deserves. About time that justice is being done. All board members should resign if they really cared for the Lynwood community. The board is just as corrupt as Dr. Lal.

Lal Laptop said on Thursday, Mar 11 at 10:21 PM

Lal laptop was probably dropped in the Fiji Islands ocean when he visited there! It was attached to a boat anchor! Very slick, Lal, Morales and Solache. Meanwhile district teeters on bankrupcy. GO LYNWOOD!

Flye on the wall said on Thursday, Mar 11 at 9:05 PM

What they are looking for, are copies of campaign flyers from the last election...Dr. Lal had some of them printed on District equipment during weekends and nights. If this is true or not, we can's say...Any one can buy paper from Office Depot or go to Kinkos...But everyone uses the District. From LTA members to Parent Groups lead by Martina (who, when a Board Member had her daughters grades altered at LHS..Ask James Murray or any one in the Tech Dept or Mailroom!) But if Dr. Lal and Solache did do something wrong or illegal, evidence will show the truth.... Come on, even Morales has used the District supplies for his own personal use during his campaign with the use of the Auto-Home Dialing Message System!! It's just as bad as Chief Miguel Calvillo having sex with women during working hours (as do some of his male officers that are his lackies) It all comes out in the wash! But just remember, Leier has no clean past also...Check with Pomona! Thanks Mr. Holt!

The DA should check the books to see the expeditures of the Assistant Supt of Curriculum and Instruction, the Fed and State budget, the outrageous printing costs, the outrageous costs for Kaplan,food expenditures, tech support and equipment, and the operating costs of personnel, the manufactured costs of operations of all school sites. The corruption and misapporpriation of funds has run rampant for the last decade. This largely Hispanic community deserves to have the top administrators fired and not be paid. Teachers are always forced to take the short end of the stick.
