California state superintendent of public instruction Tony Thurmond said during an April 23 call with reporters that a third-party investigation into Craig Heimbichner, who works as an administrator in the Department of Education’s charter-school oversight division, determined that there was no basis for disciplinary action. He was reinstated “immediately.”
Thurmond pointed out that “obviously, if there was some evidence or circumstances otherwise, we’d be having a different conversation today.”
