The Rainy River District School Board is publicly acknowledging the theft of funds from Fort Frances High School to be a systemic failure from the top down.The board issued the statement yesterday after former school secretary Fawn Lindberg plead guilty last week to a charge of theft and given an 18-month conditional sentence.
Over $300-thousand was taken through the use of several pre-authorized blank cheques over a three year period.
The board says all of the money has since been recovered through insurance.
It states an auditor is now developing new guidelines regarding school funds.
