OSKALOOSA – The Finance Director for the Oskaloosa Community School District announced her resignation yesterday.

Sarah McGriff tendered her resignation effective on November 17, 2025, and in her resignation letter to the district, she cited what she described as “personal vendettas” and a “smear campaign” targeting district superintendent Mike Fisher as reasons behind her decision.

McGriff alleged that three members of the school board “have continued to spread misinformation to damage reputations and erode trust to advance their personal agendas,” and praised superintendent Fisher, calling him a “compassionate, moral, and faith-driven leader.” She went on to reference a state audit that she described as “wasteful” that was conducted “out of spite” by board president Kathy Butler: McGriff wrote that “the board president and her allies” initiated the audit as “a direct attack on the integrity of both Dr. Fisher and me.”

The district’s next school board meeting will be held on October 28.
