Columbus – The following statement may be attributed to Auditor of State Dave Yost concerning the sentencing of former Columbus City Schools Superintendent Gene Harris:

“Gene Harris will forever bear the title of convicted criminal,” Auditor Yost said.  “But most importantly, the loss of her professional licenses means she can never again impact children’s education.”
