Two weeks after the arrest of former Superintendent Ian Roberts, Des Moines School Board members and district officials have not said whether they knew Roberts lied on his resume before they hired him.
Roberts claimed in his 2023 application that he received a doctorate from Morgan State University. But JG Consulting, a search firm the district hired, discovered during a background check that Roberts did not obtain a degree from the Baltimore school he attended from 2002 to 2007.
