The district had placed Superintendent Dr. Joe Maluchnik on paid leave for several months without explanation, according to Salisbury.
During a board meeting Wednesday night, residents voiced concerns over the appropriate use of taxpayer money, urging the district to be transparent regarding its financial decisions.
The Allegheny County District Attorney and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office have been approached to look into the allegations.
In a response to the calls for investigation, the district has claimed Salisbury never requested any information or sought a meeting with district officials.
Furthermore, the district claims it has no information indicating misappropriation of public funds, and that its overall financial health remains strong.
