An Orange County Board of Education trustee alleges the county superintendent accepted funds from a federal COVID grant last year for a program that espouses critical race theory for its schools.

OC Department of Education Superintendent Al Mijares accepted a $507,000 grant to allow the county Health Care Agency to create mental health centers—called WellSpaces—in a handful of department schools in a program known as Equity in OC.
