Is There an Epidemic of Parent, Teacher and Student Fraud?
posted on: Tuesday, December 12, 2006
You, your daughter and son are raising money for your child’s school.
Guess who it’s going to benefit?
In the last edition of the weekly e-newsletter Nonprofit Misdeeds there were three cases of parent-teacher embezzlement in Michigan, in just one week. My interest was peaked because Michigan is my home state. The day after the newsletter’s publication, four other elementary schools embezzlements showed up in Michigan. I looked into how widespread parent, teacher, and student theft was. I was appalled… almost $500,000 was taken from Michigan students in just a two week period!! In Tennessee…$140,000 and California…$92,000.
Is this fodder for Senators Grassley and Baucus' Senate Committee to start exploring?
