School board association puts head on leave
March 11, 2010 22:44 EST
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- The Iowa Association of School Boards says it has placed its executive director on administrative leave pending an investigation into financial problems at the schools group.
According to a recent report in the Des Moines Sunday Register, IASB executive director Maxine Kilcrease was accused of increasing her pay from $210,000 a year to $367,000 a year without obtaining board approval. Kilcrease returned $59,000 in pay earlier this week.
The IASB is a private nonprofit group that accepts dues from all 361 public school districts in Iowa. Its board is made of up local school board members from across the state.
The board put Kilcrease on leave Thursday.
