It would be interesting to explore whether the affected groups, which I assume are various booster groups and extra curricular / athletic club, have grounds for legal action / remedy from the school board.

As far as I know, these groups are required to run their finances through school bookkeepers who are school board employees - seems an action for negligent hiring, inadequate supervision, failure to account for funds, improper / no checks / balances...

So noise made along those lines might motivate the school board to rethink trying to disown responsibility...who knows, I'm not a lawyer.

I suspect the so-called "financial windfall" may in fact be strictly illusory. Perp Tammy Jo likely has little $ to actually pay restitution owing to her manifold shortcomings and serial poor decision-making episodes.

Tammy Jo is in jail now, and headed to prison; so her income-earning potential in the foreseeable future is, um, well, pretty much zero.

Hi Curtis, the point isn’t whether Saucier will ever be able to pay anyone back. The issue is the school district put the burden of re-payment on the parents and staff of the school.
