A Wisconsin school district was recently scammed out of nearly $100,000 in what authorities are calling cyber theft.
School leaders say the crime happened last August after the business manager processed what's described as an unusual payment request from a third party.
Officials say the district put the business manager on leave after finding they lost $92,000 to a cyber crime.
They say the step is not a determination of wrongdoing.
The district is now working with police, attorneys, and insurance trying to recover the lost taxpayer funds.
The UW-Madison Board of Regents is moving forward with plans to build new residence halls to help house its growing student body.

Campus leaders say the new facilities will ease housing pressure and restore dedicated student study areas pending final state legislative approval.
A Wisconsin man was buried alive yesterday when a six-foot-deep trench collapsed in on him in the town of Cicero.
The 44-year-old was laying piped to a barn on his property when the walls of the trench gave way.
