The PTA president at an elementary school in Queens, New York has allegedly stolen at least $40,000 intended for kid’s programs and used it for vet bills, Amazon purchases and Uber Eats.
According to the New York Post, on September 27th, Athena Gonzales resigned following accusations by other PTA members that she was stealing, the interim president announced at a meeting on October 7th.
The PTA members were first told during an emergency meeting after the group’s secretary discovered the missing money amid fraudulent bank activity.
A copy of a $10,000 check made out to cash was placed on the table, but no one admitted to writing it, according to sources.
The PTA announced at its October meeting that another check had been allegedly written out to Gonzalez.
Sources stated that members worked together to follow the paper trail and allegedly discovered Gonzalez spent the majority of the money over the summer, charging it to the PTA credit card.
PTA members traced the charges back to Gonzalez’ vet, and said she also has been posting on social media about recent vacations and a new car.
