STATE AUDITOR ROB SAND CONFIRMED TUESDAY AFTERNOON THAT HIS OFFICE HAD RECEIVED A QUALIFYING REQUEST FOR A RE-AUDIT OF THE DES MOINES PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
HE SAYS HIS OFFICE WILL CONDUCT PROCEDURES AT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM AND AS A RESULT, THE REQUEST ITSELF IS CONFIDENTIAL AND WILL NOT BE SHARED,.
THREE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE IOWA SENATE PREVIOUSLY SENT SAND A LETTER, ASKING HIM TO EVALUATE THE PROCESS THE DES MOINES SCHOOL BOARD USED TO HIRE IAN ROBERTS, WHO WAS ARRESTED BY IMMIGRATION AGENTS LAST MONTH AND FACES FEDERAL GUN CHARGES.
SAND, A DEMOCRAT, SAYS THE STATE AUDITOR’S OFFICE ONLY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO INVESTIGATE LOCAL ENTITITES WHEN THE REQUEST COMES FROM SOMEONE WITHIN THE CITY, COUNTY OR — IN THIS CASE — SCHOOL DISTRICT. NONE OF THE SENATORS WHO SENT THE LETTER LIVE IN DES MOINES.
