DECATUR, AL (AP) -
Investigators with Alabama's ethics
commission on Wednesday are expected to question 27 Decatur High School
coaches or their representatives about monetary gifts given by the
school's athletic booster club.
The Decatur Daily reports that the interviews will be conducted in private hearings. They are
part of a probe that began in the summer of 2011, when the school system
learned the booster club had given money totaling $6,875 to 27
employees.
A 2010 state law prohibits state employees from receiving gifts of more than $25.
State ethics commission
Executive Director Jim Sumner Jr. has said penalties for violating the
law range from two to 20 years in jail with up to a $20,000 fine if
employees are found guilty of felony charges.
Unintentional violations could result in lesser penalties.
