On Thursday, May 8, 2025, the Carrollton Exempted Village School District was notified that their treasurer, Amy Spears, had been indicted by the Carroll County grand jury. Prior to this indictment, Mrs. Spears requested a leave of absence and the Board of Education granted that leave on April 1, 2025. At that time, an interim treasurer was appointed.
The District has been cooperating with the Auditor of State's office throughout their investigation and will continue to cooperate with them and the Carroll County Prosecutor's office to seek restitution of any District funds that have been lost. Furthermore, we are reviewing all of our procedures regarding reimbursement to prevent future occurrences of this nature.
At this time, the District will make no further comment as this case and investigation is ongoing.
