The Iowa Auditor, Rob Sand, has conducted reports on former Des Moines Superintendent Ian Roberts, revealing new information. One report focused on Roberts' finances with the school district, uncovering unsupported expenses. Another report examined the state's handling of Roberts' licensing. Sand faced challenges accessing crucial records from the Board of Educational Examiners during his investigation into potential misuse of taxpayer funds. Roberts was detained by ICE in September 2025 and subsequently resigned from his position. He later pleaded guilty to federal immigration charges. Sand will discuss the reports in a press conference on Tuesday morning.
