The largest school district of Iowa said that they filed a lawsuit against the consulting company on Friday to identify the superintendent candidates, alleging that it was not found properly to Ian Roberts, who was arrested by immigration officials last week.
Monk Public schools hired JG Consulting in 2022 to facilitate leadership search, causing Roberts to work next year.
American Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers have said Guyana Natives were illegally in America and had no work authority. Federal prosecutors on Thursday accused Roberts of having four firearms, while illegally in the US, in which an official said that the jeep was wrapped in a towel inside Cherokee, when he was running, when the agents pulled him, according to the court filing.
The district’s complaint accused the search firm for violation of contract and negligence, and the school board chairman Jackie Noris said that the taxpayer has been focused on re -starting the dollar and addressing the prestigious damage.
Noris said, “The firm failed the candidates properly in their duties. Ian Roberts should never be presented as a finalist.” “If we knew what we know now, it would never have been hired.”
James Guerra, Chairman and CEO In Texas -based JG Consulting, Friday did not respond to phone calls or messages seeking comments on Friday. A phone call for JG Consulting’s Customer Service Line was except.
Roberts’ arrest after escaping from a traffic stop shocked and confused the community. Students have gone out of their classrooms in protest. Members of the community have gathered to raise questions from Roberts’ lawyers, who are trying to cover the lively person, who is associated with students and employees with the person at the center of a scam with students and employees who have attracted national attention. The Des Minee School Board has said that it was “a victim of deception” during its tenure.
Roberts resigned as Superintendent this week when a State Education Board canceled its license.
Federal officials said Roberts had a final expulsion order issued last year, and an immigration judge denied a proposal to reopen Roberts’ immigration case in this April. Roberts’ lawyer, Alfredo Parish, has stated that Roberts was under the assumption to a former lawyer that his immigration case was “successfully resolved.”
The contract between the district and the JG consultation, which has been available on the website of the district for a long time, said that the company was responsible for advertising, recruitment, application and re -reviews, public domain search and full reference check, as well as the presentation of qualified candidates.
Roberts has two decades of experience in education and was well used in 2021 before earning a doctorate from Trident University International.
Roberts, with his application, on a re -commencement of his application claimed that he received a doctoral degree under Urban Educational leadership in 2007, as per the documents, the Associated Press received through a public record request.
Although Roberts was nominated in that doctoral program from 2002 to 2007, the public relations office of the school confirmed in an email that he did not get the degree. A background investigation during the hiring process flagged off the discrepancy with the beginning of the district, according to the district.
The district said that the full school board started only one again which was revised to indicate that it did not complete its dissertation, which is necessary for the degree. But the board had access to a vigilant members for background check for initial variance.
Noris said that the counseling company needed to bring all information, positive or negative to the board’s attention, but failed to do so. “It’s about accountability.”
