Beverly Hills businessman Clark Parker has resigned from Southern California’s air quality board following a Los Angeles Times investigation into charter schools he founded with his wife.
found that the couple made millions off charter schools that offered little to their mostly low-income students.After publication of the story, Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins wrote Parker on April 2 requesting his “immediate resignation” from the South Coast Air Quality Management District board. Parker replied a week later with his resignation, effective April 30.
Current and former teachers at the schools, which served mostly low-income children of color, described working out of aging, cockroach-infested classrooms where students often didn’t have access to basic supplies or enough textbooks. In a letter sent to the Senate Rules Committee on Tuesday, Clark Parker wrote that “the reason for my resignation is during the next two to three years I have a business opportunity regarding developing a large piece of real estate that I have recently received approval from the local approval agencies to proceed.”
The state Department of Education is suing Clark Parker to recover more than $19 million in public funds it says he misspent while running a collection of day-care centers in South L.A.
