DES MOINES, Iowa — In the wake of the immigration detention of former Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts, and later federal gun charges, questions about financial matters in the DMPS district have been raised.

Some lawmakers have even called on Iowa Auditor Rob Sand to audit the school district to determine whether there were any improperly spent funds during Roberts’ tenure.

“Iowa needs the state auditor to take the time to do the job and help both lawmakers and Iowans as we continue to deal with the consequences of Roberts’ deceptions,” stated a letter written by State Senators Jesse Green, Kerry Gruenhagen, and Lynn Evans.

Sand has set a Tuesday morning news conference to answer questions about the situation. It is expected to begin at 10:00 a.m. You can watch it live below:
