Sask. school employee fired for making almost $10K in personal calls
South East Cornerstone School Division says phone bills will now be checked for international calls
An employee has been fired at the South East Cornerstone School Division for making personal phone calls totaling $9,844.
The information was released by the province in the first ever report on losses at Saskatchewan school divisions.
The report states the employee repaid $6,000 through a mutual agreement. The division has now put in place a monthly review of phone bills to check for international calls.
The report covered the 2013-2014 school year, and included one other loss.
An employee with the Saskatoon Public School Division was fired after an audit revealed a total of $1,051 missing from petty cash, as well as cash boxes for busing and athletics.
The report said a new policy will be in place to prevent future petty cash thefts from happening across the division.
