AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Eanes Independent School District is searching for a new superintendent, but the company hired to find the district's next leader has come under scrutiny, according to the district.

Eanes hired JG Consulting in August to find his replacement, a firm that was previously involved in the hiring of Ian Roberts to the superintendent position of Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa, a news release from the district said Thursday.

The now-terminated Roberts allegedly lied about his citizenship status, and he was detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week, according to The Associated Press.

Further investigation in Des Moines alleges that Roberts has also lied about his credentials in Pennsylvania and across the country, according to the AP.
