A three-person parent-led fundraising team raised almost $8,000 since June, and now parents want an accounting.
Parents with children attending the Harriet Tubman Village school are concerned after thousands of dollars raised by student fundraisers went missing from the College Area school.
“Once the school year started, we started fundraising heavily every single Friday,” Kirkpatrick said, “faithfully bringing in over $500 a week from students.”Once it came time to start planning for those field trips, though, she said, parents started to get concerned.Parents became suspicious and decided to check in with the finance office directly, which is how they found out how little money had been turned in. They filed a police report.
“I think this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Kirkpatrick said. “I believe that something else bigger may be going on at this school."School principal Laura Vivar and school board chair Eric Sams responded to the concerns, writing: The day after Kirkpatrick reported the funds missing, Vivar sent an email announcing the PAC was being replaced.
