Thursday, August 27, 2015

Columbus – The following statement may be attributed to Auditor of State Dave Yost concerning the sentencing of former Columbus City Schools Administrator Michael Dodds:

“Dodds’ cheating and criminal behavior ended his career – today’s jail sentence is simply the most recent of the penalties he’s received,” Auditor Yost said. “This should stand as a warning to any public employee who would wander from the truth.”
