Santa Clara County Office of Education leaders say a series of probes they ordered into their former superintendent found contract favoritism and improper use of funds – though the full report has not been made public.

The board’s majority voted to fire Dewan without cause in October 2024. When the decision sparked backlash from residents, the county and state lawmakers, the board accused Dewan of impropriety and misspending – hiring independent investigators to examine Dewan’s leadership. Last December, Office of Education officials said they handed over information to local law enforcement.
