Scandal erupts in St. Joseph, Missouri

Shortly after cutting $3 million from its budget, the St. Joseph, Missouri School District secretly doled out $270,000 in bonuses to 54 administrators. Do you think that sounds suspicious? So did we. That's why Ballotpedia recently launched our first-ever boots on the ground investigation.
What we've uncovered is truly schocking. The fact that the school district's superintendent is known as the "Candy Man" is the first hint that something is awry in the otherwise sleepy town of St. Joseph. The Federal Bureau of Investigation probe into the district's activities? Also a red flag.
