SEC Reaches Settlements with Sweetwater UHSD, Ex-CFOs
By City News Service • Sept. 16, 2021 • www.nbcsandiego.com

Excerpt: The Securities and Exchange Commission announced Thursday that it has entered into a settlement agreement with the Sweetwater Union High School District and its former Chief Financial Officer to resolve allegations that the district misled investors who purchased $28 million in municipal bonds.
. The SEC alleged that in 2018, the school district and former CFO Karen Michel gave investors misleading budget projections indicating it would end the fiscal year with a general fund balance of around $19.5 million when it was actually on track for a negative $7.2 million ending fund balance. ...
. LeeAnn G. Gaunt, chief of the SEC's Public Finance Abuse Unit, said, "As the order finds, Sweetwater and Michel presented stale and misleading financial information as current and accurate. The SEC will continue to address deceptive conduct that prevents municipal bond investors from getting an accurate picture of the financial risks of their investments."
