COMPTON SUPERINTENDENT CHARGED PERSONAL ITEMS TO DISTRICT
CREDIT CARD

Credit card records obtained by The Compton Bulletin reveal that the
superintendent of the Compton Unified School District appears to have been
using taxpayer money for personal purchases.
Records provided by the school district indicate that only some of the
purchases made by Superintendent Dr. Kaye Burnside on a district-issued
credit card have been repaid.
A district employee from accounting said she questioned Superintendent Dr.
Kaye Burnside’s credit card use roughly a year ago. She said she was pulled
aside by a top administrator, who explained to her that Burnside was using the
card for personal use because she had been the victim of identify theft, which
prevented her from obtaining a personal credit card.
The Compton Unified school board’s credit card policy expressly forbids
personal use of credit cards, stating, “under no circumstances may personal
expenses be charged.”
