WAYNESVILLE, Mo. (Jan. 12, 2012) — An official audit of financial records at the Waynesville R-VI School District shows that money has turned up missing from funds controlled out of the district administrative offices. However, Pulaski County Prosecutor Kevin Hillman denies reports in two media outlets, KY-3 television from Springfield and the Waynesville Daily Guide, that charges are imminent and may be filed today. Contacted Thursday morning, Hillman said he’s not sure where the media reports originated that his office had already decided to file charges or that the charges could be filed as early as today. School auditors have previously reported to the school board that the amount of money at issue would have been covered by the former employee’s financial bond, which means that the financial loss to the district, if any, would not be substantial. School officials have since estimated that what they’re calling a “misallocation” of funds involves approxmately $50,000.
