Amis is alleged to have embezzled the funds from April 1999 to May of this year, while he was president of the Henry County affiliate. Amis has also been a member of the McDonough City Council since 1986. Henry County D.A. Tommy Floyd said he will contact lame-duck Gov. Roy Barnes as part of a legal procedure designed to remove indicted officials from elected offices. School officials said it is too early to decide whether Amis will continue teaching as he has in Henry County for 24 years. [Atlanta Journal-Constitution 11/14/02, Henry County D.A. 11/13/02]
