An investigation is underway after money was discovered missing within the Clinton School District, but little information is being released. School Board President Jim McGraw announced the investigation.

“Within the last week, school district staff, as part of a focused internal review, uncovered a serious financial irregularity,” Shaw says,” upon discovery of this situation, we requested the intervention of our local law enforcement officials. The district is working closely with Clinton Police Chief Brian Guy, County Attorney Mike Wolf and federal authorities.”

The Clinton police chief and Clinton County attorney said they couldn’t add much more to the statement. Other questions were not answered and authorities would not reveal how much money is involved or whether the case involved current or former employees.
