They really need mathematics consulting:
"Amendment #1 to Agreement #20-97 with
Joanne Boaler August 4, 2021 At the Board Meeting of November 4, 2020, the Board of Trustees approved Agreement #20-97 with Joanne Boaler, in the amount of $20,000.00, to provide TK-8 Mathematics Professional Development for Oxnard School District teachers during the 2020-2021 academic year.
Amendment #1 in the amount of $20,000.00, is required to correct a math/clerical error in the original agreement. The correct verbiage should read “Provide four (4) two-hour sessions at the rate of $5,000.00 per hour for a total of $40,000”. "

#5This seems like an agitator trying to raise a fuss, not a "whistleblower" (I guess maybe that's how the term is used now). I'd encourage people to read the surrounding tweets, he looks like someone who wants to be outraged about something more than a brave soul calling out some malfeasance.
That aside, if this money is for facilitating sessions, as another comment implies, it is perfectly reasonable. The facilitator has to prepare, follow up, etc. and is presenting to a group. I've done these kind of sessions and that rate is not high. The per hour of facilitation time is a meaningless way to look at it. For all I know, maybe there is something untoward going on, but the usual racial outrage we see in the tweets, and the inflammatory, clickbait headline certainly dont make any kind of case

this reads awfully like "we, uh, fixed the glitch"

Even if the rate is reasonable, what's the justification for involving the police?

Prof Nelson didn’t call himself “whistleblower “ but it does seem untoward that the main author of the California math framework is also making $5000/hour when the client is not a tech company but a public school district with mostly minority and economically disadvantaged students.
In any case, if there is nothing untoward, why threaten him with “police and lawyers”?

#10I think the headline is misleading. Based on the linked tweet, it seems that it should be "threatens to call the police" or something like that.
It's still quite ridiculous though. She kinda seems to be the Doctor Oz of math education.
