 Later in March, the board secretly selected a new superintendent and principal, despite a recommendation from the North Central Association that a list of educators form a search committee.By this time, results of inquiries into the finances of the district had been hampered by the disappearance of the district's financial officer.When it was determined that the controller had taken money from the school's petty cash, leaving an IOU, the board requested, and received, a warrant for his arrest.
