Truant officer’s January claim criticized for vagueness
Aaron Veters, Harrison county truancy officer, faced a board panel over a January bill deemed non specific. The claim lists 170 blank reports, 29 school visits, 87 letters to parents and 206 truants but fails to date or location details, days worked, and who the truants were. The board warned that such vague billing invites fraud and demanded explicit daily work, school names, and recipient counts.
