The Los Angeles Unified School District has suspended purchases of additional Apple iPads following an FBI raid of documents related to the $1.3 billion purchase program, according to the Los Angeles Times.

FBI agents seized some 20 boxes of records related to the program Tuesday, according to the newspaper, which reported that a federal grand jury is examining the matter.

A subpoena required the nation’s second-largest school district to produce documents related to its deals with Apple and with education publisher Pearson, which furnished the curriculum, the Times reported.

The investigation represents a black eye for Apple, which is looking to spur flagging sales of its tablet by emphasizing its application in schools and in corporate settings.

Apple declined comment.
