Natomas Unified School District officials are expected to remove a recently elected member from her leadership positions Tuesday evening amid an escalating, yearslong state investigation into claimsshe bilked the district out of thousands of dollars in speech therapy fees.
Ericka Harden, who was narrowly elected to the Natomas School Board in November, has been under investigation by the California Department of Consumer Affairs since at least 2017, according to records The Sacramento Bee obtained through a Public Records Act request.
The state’s review has intensified in recent months, with investigators subpoenaing the district for receipts, emails and other documents involving Harden’s speech therapy work with children in the district. The receipts show Harden claiming more than $16,000 from dozens of speech services in 2016 and 2017.
An agenda for Tuesday night’s special meeting says, “Trustees will discuss temporarily removing Trustee Harden from holding a Board leadership position or committee representation until a pending legal matter is resolved.” District officials declined to comment before the meeting.
In an interview with The Bee, Harden said she was innocent of the alleged wrongdoing.
