Statement from Auditor of State Dave Yost

Monday, November 24, 2014

Columbus – The following statement may be attributed to Auditor of State Dave Yost regarding today’s sentencing of former Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy Superintendent Lisa Hamm.

"This was a looting that would make even a pirate blush, with children and taxpayers as victims," Auditor Yost said.  "I suppose walking the plank was out of the question. However, the court’s decision will prevent her from ever stealing from students again."
