The Steelton-Highspire School Board in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, has voted to initiate an investigation into the district's finances. During a meeting on Wednesday (February 12), the board decided to hire a law firm to conduct the inquiry. The specific reasons for the investigation have not been disclosed.
In a related matter, the board considered suspending Superintendent Mick Iskric with pay but ultimately voted against it. The connection between Superintendent Iskric and the financial investigation remains unclear. Efforts to obtain further information from both the board president and Superintendent Iskric have been unsuccessful so far.
The decision to focus the investigation solely on the district's finances marks a shift from an earlier motion that included investigating Superintendent Iskric. The board's actions come amid growing scrutiny of the district's financial management.
As the investigation unfolds, the community awaits further details regarding the district's financial situation and any potential implications for its leadership.
