El Dorado High School Booster Club Funds Allegedly Stolen, Inquiry underway
El Dorado, KS – The El Dorado High School Booster Club has reported the theft of funds intended to support student activities, prompting a police investigation and a scramble to mitigate the impact on students. The alleged theft was discovered recently, leaving the booster club and school district working to recover lost resources and ensure continued support for extracurricular programs.
The El Dorado Police Department is currently investigating the situation, according to El Dorado Public Schools Superintendent Jennifer davis. The missing funds were managed by a former booster club treasurer who is no longer employed by the district. The loss threatens to curtail booster club initiatives throughout the remainder of the school year, perhaps impacting a wide range of student programs and activities. “That means all the kids get to miss out for the rest of the year,” said community member Jessica Shover.
In response, the school district is allocating emergency funds to assist the booster club in continuing its support of students. The district is also partnering with the booster club to purchase staff and student merchandise for sale. “We encourage our community to visit the booster club page or stop by the booster club kiosk at the next game,” Davis said in a statement.
Community members are rallying to support the booster club. “Those kids, they need that club,” said Ashley Wyman. “This something they need. Donate a dollar, donate 10 bucks, something for them.”
