The Securities and Exchange Commission launched an informal investigation on Thursday into the details of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD) notorious $1.3 billion iPad project, which was supposed to give every child in the nation’s second-largest school system an iPad loaded with Pearson curriculum.
