Akron schools rocked by property sales probe

A high-ranking Akron Public Schools official is under investigation for allegedly turning school equipment into personal profit—right under everyone’s noses. The director of Facility Services is accused of trading in district grounds equipment, buying it back, fixing it up during work hours, and then selling it on Facebook Marketplace. All this came to light after an anonymous tipster emailed school board members, sparking a full-blown inquiry. With the investigation still ongoing, folks are left wondering: How could this happen in our own backyard, and what does it mean for trust in our local schools? What’s your take on this situation? #Education #Akron #SchoolNews
