In the latest public loss reports from the provincial government, they noted that an employee of a southeast school division was fired for using their gas card improperly.
The province states that $1,185 was lost as a result of an employee for the South East Cornerstone Public School Division (SECPSD) using their gas card for "non-business related purchases".
Keith Keating, the Director of Education with the SECPSD, says that "Through regular accounting practices, an anomaly was found regarding the use of one of the school division's gas cards. Upon discovery, there was an investigation which determined fraudulent use of the card."
The loss report places the incident between January 2024 and January 2025.
Actions taken included terminating the employee from their position at the school division and having them agree to a repayment plan.
