Former Patriots tight end Jermaine Wiggins was mentioned in an investigative report released to the public on Tuesday detailing Brockton Schools’ $18 million budget deficit, as reported by the Boston Herald.
The city of Brockton hired outside investigators from Boston law firm Nystrom, Beckman & Paris last year to look into the school system’s 2023 fiscal year.
In the report, the firm credits the budget shortfall to “overspending” and “structural failures,” and describes the misconduct of former superintendent Michael Thomas, including his dubious hiring practices. He allegedly created positions for and appointed those that he had close connections with.
