The FBI is investigating a Los Angeles school district’s $1.3-billion plan to provide iPads to every student, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Agents seized records from the district on Monday as investigators seek documents related to deals with Apple and the curriculum provider, Pearson.
A grand jury is reviewing the case.
The initiative came under Superintendent John Deasy, who resigned in October.
He declined to speak with the Times.
“No one has spoken to me,” he said. “I have no comment as I do not know anything about this.”
Details of the investigation remain unclear.
Current Superintendent Ramon C. Corines said he is halting any additional iPad purchases.
