A veteran FBI agent stationed in Europe has accepted a job as inspector general of the troubled Los Angeles school district.
William Stern, who is the chief attache to the Netherlands and to Europol, will relocate to California and begin his $179,000-a-year job on Jan. 31, the Los Angeles Times reports.
His contract runs through June 30, 2020.
“He’s well qualified for the position and we’re grateful to have him join the LAUSD team,” L.A. Unified general counsel David Holmquist said Tuesday.
Stern’s job will be to prevent and identify waste, fraud and abuse among district employees and contractors.
Stern started with the FBI in 1999, working as a special agent on white-collar crime and an attache to the United Kingdom.
