November 9, 2009 - 7:49pm

WASHINGTON - D.C. Public Schools has confirmed that Chief Financial Officer Noah Wepman is no longer an employee, but is saying Wepman resigned.

Sources tell WTOP that Wepman was fired last Friday for withholding budget numbers from the D.C. Council.

Last month, Wepman told councilmembers the $43 million budget gap that forced the firings of hundreds of D.C. teachers were not entirely due to council budget cuts.

Wepman told the council the DCPS budget was certified, despite the fact that there was a multi-million dollar budget shortfall.
