This is 100% on her

At least you got this part right.

I'm the treasurer of our playground booster club and we require 2 signatures on all checks

So do they.

We have three people that can sign checks, so if someone is out of town or unavailable, we can still comply.

But it still only REQUIRES 2 signatures, so someone can just as easily circumvent your rules by signing someone else's name.

The fact that she was able to so easily move the money should be concerning to everyone.

Then you should be very concerned about your process as well.

How does this even happen? Wiring money to people in NY wouldn't throw up any red flags?


this has to be on purpose... none of this makes sense.

Person needs to be indicted.

Makes me wonder what kind of work environment Drake fosters if employees are submissive enough to do this and be too scared to question the transaction.

Or that she thought sending $46 grand to some random NYC accounts was normal for him. Lets open up those books a little more.

From what I've heard it is a great working environment. Every place he has ever gone he has improved dramatically. He is a winner. Fletcher simply did not follow her chain of command or common sense (hopefully)

I know of two lawyers who have fallen for Nigerian scams.

Most victims are greedy people. Their greed overrides their common sense.

Totally normal for the superintendent to be requesting money to go to those folks in Brooklyn.


There's got to be more to this story than mere incompetence. It would honestly be more embarrassing if it was mere incompetence.

Yep, the wire transfers require the signatures of two people. The CFO was out of town so she just signed both. In reality that would cost her her job, but this is overbloated government bureaucracy we're talking about here so probably a training seminar for her and another CATS tax for the rest of us.

That's actually a big deal. I don't see how she doesn't fired or face at least some misdemeanor charges for this.

But if it's an office policy, and your boss tells you it's OK to circumvent the policy, that opens up a whole other "technicality" scenario on her behalf.

I haven't read much more than the OP. Is that the excuse that's been given? Policy?

No, I haven't read anything about that aspect of it. Just my opinion on why no charges were filed. I'm probably wrong.

What major accounting firm or company do you do financial work for?

I did not see where she forged a signature. If so, that's fraud and she should be arrested for such.

Well this thread got me worked up enough to write an email to the School Board Rep for my district.

Probably a ZERO percent chance they do anything to this lady since I am sure they are all buddies but figured I would give our governmental system a chance.
