Embattled D.C. schools' chief financial officer Pamela Graham has resigned, The Examiner has learned.

She will be replaced by Noah Wepman, an aide to city Administrator Dan Tangherlini.

Graham was the top financial official for the schools for just under two years. She struggled to bring the $1 billion school system's accounts under control.

Like most city agencies, the schools don't control their own budget. Critics say the arrangement allows agencies to blame one another when things go poorly.
