School Board Sues Firm Over Superintendent Hire

Des Moines Public Schools plans to sue a consulting firm for allegedly failing to properly vet candidates, specifically regarding the now-former superintendent, Ian Roberts. Roberts was detained by ICE last week, with authorities stating he is not legally in the U.S. and lacks work authorization since 2020. The school board chair stated the firm should have flagged negative information about Roberts, leading to legal action for accountability and taxpayer dollars. Roberts also faces a federal firearms charge.
