I am not sure if the State will go into the Athletic Dept. on this one but thee is yet another KY. State investigation into "dealings" at Fairview High School.

Has nothing to do with athletics , so this shouldnt even be on this site .

Well, we do talk about things other than sports on this site, so that's not entirely true...

 

Maybe a different forum would be appropriate.

Ok, good point . Different forum , but not a sports forum .

To be honest, none of us know what this investigation entails. If you do some insight would be appreciated.

I'm not shocked.

Apparently, according to the article, the Superintendent doesn't even know what this investigation is about. Do you?

 

Some possibilities: Illegal re-hiring of Superintendent or collection of Kentucky ADA money for students that lived out-of-state but gave a Kentucky address.

Say it ain't so.

So basically a different kind of trouble for the original football stuff?

The first would be a different topic entirely. The second would be directly related to the gridiron shenanigans.

 

IMHO.

Quite possible.

 

I guess we will have to wait and see.

I'm not Ram and ill say firsthand that he probably knows more about the situation than I do. But given the circumstances that led to Musick's retirement, now that he is back, I question whether this may have something to do with his involvement with student athletes.

 

The only other things I can think of that would lead to this investigation would be an improper hiring process, which has already mentioned. But why would the school board even think of doing that, especially when knowing they are being watched closely. The second thing is misappropriation of funding, which could be a lot of things. The third thing, which I think os unlikely, would be some form of embezzlement from within the district.

 

The only thing from the article that tells me anything is that the DOE says Musick was hired illegally, which to me says this new incident involves him directly.

In my experience, that often has little bearing on the situation.

Everything I mentioned has little bearing on the situation, or.something in particular? As an outsider to the situation I have no idea. Just running a few possibilities through my brain.

Probe of Fairview begins » Local News » Daily Independent (Ashland, KY)

 

But a source close to the investigation said the investigators are probing a variety of alleged violations including financial irregularities and improperly classifying out-of-district students as living inside district boundaries.

 

The source spoke to The Independent on condition of not being identified.

 

The core issue stems from allegations the district recruited athletes for its winning football program and listed them as having Westwood addresses, although the students did not live in the district, according to the source.

 

That would result in the district receiving more state money than it was entitled to because the state uses attendance figures to calculate school funding at about $4,000 per student per year — and out of district students don’t qualify.

 

The investigators also are looking into the rehiring of Musick by the board after it had accepted his resignation early this year, according to the source.

 

The Kentucky Department of Education’s legal counsel already has told the district rescinding Musick’s resignation is illegal, but the board has not taken any further action on the issue.

 

Also at issue are financial irregularities including in-school fundraisers for which proceeds are not accounted for, and lack of documentation for the sale of some school property declared surplus, the source said.
