Indiana School Superintendent Who Allegedly Used Own Insurance To Cover Sick Student Facing Felony Fraud Charges

Elwood Community Schools Superintendent Casey Smitherman grew concerned about a student who didn't show up for school. When she found him ill, she took him to a clinic to get an antibiotics prescription. The total bill for the treatment was $233. "From the beginning, my ultimate goal has been to provide the best environment for Elwood students’ growth physically, mentally and academically, and I remain focused on that purpose," Smitherman said. She is being put on a pretrial diversion program, and the charges may be expunged from her record.
