Chapter 18 - The Board Audit
The booster audit ended.
Total improper or unsupported expenditures:
$186,400 over four years.
Not all stolen.
Categories included undocumented consulting, preferential recruiting services, conflicted vendor payments, and improperly approved private benefits.
Approximately $37,000 required repayment to the nonprofit.
Victor personally agreed to repay a large portion through civil settlement.
The board referred tax and compliance issues to appropriate authorities.
Susan Bell returned as temporary treasurer to help rebuild systems.
She insisted on independent accounting.
No parent president with unchecked spending.
All direct athlete benefits required published criteria.
Booster money could no longer be moved by text message.
Boring reforms.
Important reforms.
The district created a firewall between donations and team decisions.
Donors could fund programs.
Not lineups.
Not facility access.
Not player medical decisions.
The phrase became policy.
Elias liked it.
Trent hated hearing his family’s scandal translated into administrative language.
Then realized that was better.
