[Guest Guest]

Kearny Board of Education employee stills 150,000 over years and nobody figured it out for years.

The Superintendent says it's ok because they are bonded.

We can only blame ourselves because we elected the delegates that are responsible for hiring and oversight.

I'm shocked and very annoyed that a bookeeper for our Town's Board of Education stole nearly $200,000 from our district! Some people should be fired for not finding it sooner. Seriously from 2011-2017, who is in charge of double checking the books every month and year end

Agreed!

In knowing the way that the thief stole the money, it would be difficult to deduce unless somebody was specifically searching for the particular discrepancies.  It is my hope that in the future, central office keeps better tabs on what our employees are doing on a day to day basis.  Every mistake, deliberate or otherwise, hurts our children's education.  No amount of "spin" is going to mitigate the repercussions that will inevitably be suffered by the students and my fellow educators.

Being bonded is great. 

The money is given by the insurance company. 

The insurance company is not giving free money. That money needs to be replaced.  That means another lawsuit for the school district.

Someone was watching the front door. But, the goods were going out the back door.

The question is, how much is this really going to cost?
