Ian Roberts is the superintendent of schools in Des Moines, Iowa. It is a very important job. He is the leader for many schools, teachers, and students.
One day, immigration officials arrested Mr. Roberts. They said he was in the country illegally. This news was a big surprise to the community.
The School Board had to make a big decision. They decided to put Mr. Roberts on leave. This means he cannot work as the superintendent right now.
The board members said they are taking the situation very seriously. They need to find out more information about what happened. For now, Mr. Roberts must wait.
