Leetsdale School Board
Robert L. Stacy*s Resignation As School Director Also Received By Board
The JLeetsdale School Board has received two certified checks, one for $1,246 and the other for $3,309, in settlement of their dispute with former secretary Robert L. Stacy, who was dismissed September 14tli as board secretary and wage tax collector, ¿In addition, Mr. Stacy submitted his resignation as school director, according to the Board President Dr. W. J. Hutchison.
At a recessed meeting on Tuesday, September 19th, the board had instructed Solicitor William Howard Colbert to begin court proceedings if Mr. Stacy did not agree to return the money by 4 p.m.* on Thursday.	^
Dr. Hutchison stated that the check fpr $1,246 was reimbursed for ‘errors* in,; ¿.the" schoor district disbursement records for the last two fiscal years. The bulk of t h e -moneV represents $907.71 in a series of checks for a two-year period drawn to Mr. Stacy as secretary's expenses. The claim of .‘errorsV a term used 'by the , board, was based, by the school board on audits made by a CPA for the 1959-GO and 1960-61 fiscal years and an audit by the elected auditors for the past fiscal year.
Dr. Hutchison said that the school directors are now concerned with finding a successor on' the board for Mr., Stacy,- whoso resignation will be acted upon officially at the next meeting. -	s
. George *, House has been acting secretary since June, when Mr. Stacy asked for a six-month leave of absence due to ill health. On Tuesday,, the school b oard appointed George House wage tax. collector for the remainder of the year. In June, he was given the post* temporarily.
At Tuesday's ’recessed .meeting, Karl Kerchner, spokesman. for the elected auditors, stated that the $1,500 a year expense money the borough was supposed to pay the school district for collecting the wage tax, had no business in the audit; 1He also
said that the $3,309 in the Savings and Loan to purchase eight' years* credit for the secretary’s retirement, did not properly belong in the audit. He said there was no record of a bill being sent to the borough for the $1,500. In fact, there is a letter from Mr. Stacy in the borough files stating that the schodl district could charge the borough that amount, but "he feels the borough will riot be billed/' Dr. Hutchison said that such a letter wasn’t authorized by the board, but Mr. Kerchner said that Stacy aff an official and director had the authority to send such a letter. The letter was read at a public council meeting, Mr. Kerchner, who is borough sblicitor, told the board. .	^ . ^1. *
. Mr. Kerchner also said that neither the school -- board nor the borough" could tell the elected auditors what to include or leave out of the audit. The auditors have the power to subpoena directors or records and also have the power to surchaxg^ elected .officials. However, the auditors didn’t want to surcharge the school directors. Charles Krane exhibited a one-page audit for 1959 as an example of-the elected auditors’ work and invited a surcharge. Mr. Kerchner said that the audit as filed by the auditors is the (Continued on Page 28)
