ERIE, Pennsylvania — Late Wednesday evening, the Millcreek Township School District in Erie County issued a statement noting they may file claims against Ian Roberts and the search firm used during his hiring process, saying they “were incensed by the progression of media reports that have been revealed in recent days regarding former Superintendent Ian Roberts.”

The school said it plans to hold the individuals who “misled” the district accountable, saying it has directed solicitors to get Robert’s documents for employment verification to determine whether the district can “aggressively pursue” action.
