Education Thursday, May 17, 2012 Ohio charter school treasurer charged with embezzlement Accused of stealing hundreds of thousands from ultiple schools by WKSU's STATEHOUSE BUREAU CHIEF KAREN KASLER |
 Reporter Karen Kasler | | |
In The Region: A Columbus-area man who was treasurer for nearly a dozen charter schools in Ohio is charged with embezzling nearly a half a million dollars in federal funds from those schools.
Carl Shye, 57, of New Albany is accused of stealing $470,000 over six years from charter schools in Columbus, Youngstown and Dayton. U.S. Attorney Carter Stewart says each school that Shye worked for got more than $10,000 a year in federal money. |
“Because treasurers employed by schools are certified by the state, they are considered public officials. School treasurers bear the solemn responsibility of protecting public funds. Shye is accused of criminally abusing that trust.”
The state auditor’s office has also been looking into the books Shye was keeping, and Auditor David Yost says over the last decade, the office issued 62 findings against Shye amounting to more than a million dollars. Shye faces arraignment on the federal charges on June 21. |
