Exclamation Funds misuse school governors 'must act now'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-22580623

Quote:
Governors at a school accused of inappropriate use of public money have been urged to "take action" by Westminster Council.

A Department for Education report criticised Quintin Kynaston Community Academy head teacher Jo Shuter over use of school funds.

Ms Shuter has been reinstated following a suspension, but is yet to return to the school.

The BBC understands negotiations over her future took place on Saturday.

The Department for Education has said decisions about the position of the head teacher are the responsibility of the school governing body.

The head teacher of the St John's Wood academy is yet to comment.

On Friday, BBC London revealed the report downgraded the school's self-assessment of its use of public funds from "good" to "inadequate".

The investigation, which looked at spending between January 2011 and August 2012, detailed numerous concerns, including:
  • Ms Shuter not declaring any business interests despite having close links to a number of suppliers used by the academy.
  • "Widespread" personal use of academy taxi accounts with an estimated £2,663 of personal travel costs identified.
  • At least two cases of expenses being claimed more than once from different organisations, which "could amount to fraud".
  • A number of issues relating to the employment of family members.

Examples of personal journeys for which taxis were claimed included trips to The Ivy and The Wolsey restaurants.
It seems that Shuter's been plundering school funds to fund an extravagant lifestyle, yet the governors seem reluctant to do anything about it .....
