Granger School District Employee in Iowa Accused of Stealing more than $270,000 from District.

Melissa Lantz, 35, was taken into custody at the Dallas County Jail just after an audit revealed she wrote more than 100 unauthorized checks to herself as well as increased her take home pay. According to state officials, the activity went from 2012 until 2017. The district says it is working with its insurance company to recoup some of the lost funds. However, parents say it’s money that could have been used for students needs. “It`s a small community so we have to raise money for a lot of different things. When it goes missing, it does take a lot of work to replenish it.” The school district says it’s making strides towards improving and better protecting its payroll accounting system per recommendation by state auditors.
