AUSTIN, Texas — The chief financial officer (CFO) for the Austin Independent School District has been cleared of any wrongdoing, but won't return to his role.
Eduardo Ramos was arrested on July 31 by the district's police department and immediately placed on leave the same day.
KVUE obtained the arrest warrant for Ramos from the Round Rock Police Department to investigate allegations of fraud, which authorities determined was not directly related to his work with the district.
According to the warrant, Ramos was accused of insurance fraud regarding a claim of $5,422.64.
However, the district said Thursday evening that it would reinstate Ramos after learning the Williamson County District Attorney's Office would not prosecute any charges related to his personal affairs.
Superintendent Matias Segura initially said they were aware of the allegations against Ramos, but said his arrest "does not involve any alleged criminal activity related to his work" on behalf of the district, its staff or students.
Ramos spent three years with the district, where he managed state and national grants, purchases and budgets. He also spent time as the deputy superintendent of finance and operations for the Hutto Independent School District, along with time as CFO for the Pflugerville Independent School District.
Since Ramos initially submitted his resignation for Friday, Aug. 16, he will now leave the district in good standing.
When the school year begins on Aug. 20, Katrina Montgomery will take over the role of Austin ISD's CFO on an interim basis. It's unclear who will replace Ramos as the full-time CFO.
