Incidents
School district theft
On January 22, 2010, 45-year-old former superintendent Todd Helms, who was superintendent from 2002 until 2008,[2] was charged for stealing exactly $295,081 from the district.[3] He pleaded guilty, very apologetically, and received a sentence of 8 years in prison and had to pay several fines for the money he stole.
Five years later, on May 13, 2015, Helms was released, earlier than his original sentence,[4] due to factors including "the nonviolent nature of his offenses and the fact that he's paid a substantial amount of the restitution he [owed]."[5] As of May 17 of that year, he still had $32,500 of his debt to pay.
Obstruction of marijuana case evidence
In December 2015, the superintendent of the district, David Stubblebine, was charged with a "second-degree misdemeanor of obstructing official business"[6] by taking marijuana from a student to obstruct evidence from the police. Stubblebine justified his actions to the school board, claiming innocence by stating that his actions "were performed while acting within the scope of his employment by the board of education as superintendent and in the good-faith belief that such conduct was lawful and in the best interests of the district and its students."[7] The results of the case are unknown, however, Stubblebine, to this day, remains in the position of school district superintendent.
