THREAD: Okay, let me see if I understand this one:
1. The Des Moines School Board appointed Ian Andre Roberts to be Superintendent of Schools in 2023. His base salary started at $270,000. He was an illegal overstay who received a final deportation order in 2024 and who had a prior weapons charge from 2020 when they hired him;
2. According to this, he has a "Doctorate in education urban education leadership" from St. John's University. According to the St. John's website, I see no such degree offered;

3. He was arrested after fleeing in his car, then on foot, with $3,000 cash. A loaded gun was found in his car.
4. Here is the board of geniuses that appointed him. Let's meet them:
Here's the Board Chair: Jackie Norris -- former Chief of Staff to Michelle Obama.

an Andre Roberts' base salary of $270k comes with plenty of bennies. As per the Des Moines Register:
"The district will provide him with a payment to a "tax-sheltered annuity" of 14% of his annual salary and $600 per month for a car allowance and reimbursement for "all in-district related travel," the contract states.

From where I sit, that brings him well over $300k. Oh -- and the selection process was done "in secret" so as to select "the best candidate."

Was this really the 'best candidate', Trumpkins?
