Another parent group theft story, big one

June 26th, 2009 by Lisa Gundlach

This time the stealing from the PTA was done by a couple! Ugh. When the parents at Erdenheim Elementary School in Erdenheim, PA, decided to switch from a PTA to PTO an audit was done and numbers just weren’t adding up… to the tune of $17,000! Ouch. Unfortunately, this group learned the hard way about the importance of fiscal controls in PTOs and PTAs.

    Can an employee of the school that does not have a child that attends the school run for an officer of the PTO?
