The Seattle School Board will discuss whether or not to fire Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson over a district employee's misuse of near $2 million when the board meets in private on Tuesday, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported.

"Certainly, all options are on the table. I wouldn't say more than that," School Board President Steve Sundquist said on Friday.

A state audit and school district investigation found former district employee Silas Potter misappropriated $1.8 million.

Potter was in charge of a district program that encouraged local, minority-owned businesses to bid on school district projects.

But investigators found the money went for work that was either never done, or had little benefit to the district.

Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn called the misuse of taxpayer money "troubling."

"The School Board needs to ensure that there's confidence that tax dollars are being spent right, and they've got their work ahead of them," McGinn told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.

Seattle police and the King County prosecutor are considering criminal charges against Potter, who has now disappeared.

Meanwhile, Sundquist said Goodloe-Johnson should have done more to make sure Potter's program was better supervised.

The man who oversaw Potter at the district, Fred Stephens, now works in the Commerce Department under Secretary Gary Locke.

In a statement, Stephens said he was "deeply troubled, by the audit's findings."

"During the period in question, I recognized management irregularities, initiated additional oversight of Mr. Potter's activities, and ultimately took action to discipline him. But at the end of the day, if the audit's characterizations are accurate, our efforts were thwarted by his dishonest behavior," the statement said.
