YAVAPAI COUNTY EDUCATION SERVICE AGENCY – MISUSE OF PUBLIC MONIES
During the Yavapai County 2012 annual audit, Auditor General staff noted discrepancies when reviewing the documentation related to the State of Arizona’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act–State Fiscal Stabilization Fund. As a result of this documentation, our Office commenced an investigation revealing that in September and October 2011, Ms. Rebecca Stolzberg, former finance administrator of the Yavapai County Education Service Agency (Agency), created false invoices totaling $19,473 for the Agency to receive improper payments under provisions of a grant. Specifically, Ms. Stolzberg created four false invoices, falsified a reimbursement request form, and submitted this fraudulent documentation to the Arizona Governor’s Office of Education Innovation in order to obtain reimbursement from the grant. She was able to misuse state monies undetected because she was allowed to prepare, approve, and submit reimbursement requests without any independent review. Also, during the Agency’s annual audit, Ms. Stolzberg submitted this same falsified documentation to the auditors without providing an explanation on the circumstances of the false documentation even after auditors made several attempts to obtain an explanation, thereby misleading the auditors during the audit. On October 21, 2013, the Arizona State Grand Jury indicted Ms. Stolzberg on three felony and misdemeanor charges related to misuse of public monies, fraud schemes, and impeding an audit.

@@John Daniels It is a very small region. What happens in Sedona doesn’t just stay in Sedona.

It is supposed to be who can serve our community on the school board best and how we can provide a great school for our kids. Young families are leaving. There is a reason.

Don’t be blinded by bs.

Vote for Hawley,
Wiseman, and Garnello

What an ignorant comment, I mean really!!! What in G-D’s name does the school district have to do with the CoC???

I’m liking Hawley, Weisman and Garnello and heard that Herman and Surber are connected at the hip and by electing her is like re-electing Surber. Any insight???

Mark Mumaw, Joanne Johnson and Dave Norton are democracy destroyers.
They destroyed the big Park Council and are puppets for the now defunct Supervisor Chip Davis.
They need to retire and stay home with their families. We have endured them long enough!!!!!! DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM, they were never elected, they were appointed. Liars

I submitted a story about the school board Meet and Greet and Forum. Hopefully, that will get a thread going. The big question to ask the school board candidates is, “Will you support another effort to close Big Park School.”

As far at the RRREMD election, please get accurate information before you vote. Crossland, Emmanuelle and myself are running for what we believe is the responsible plan of moving toward toxin-free methods for weed control. There is growing litigation against Monsanto and their Roundup product. Currently, gallons and gallons of Roundup is being sprayed in this public space. Why wait until we are forced to stop using Roundup? Don’t be short sighted.

I’m shocked that no one on SE has posted any comments (hopefully good) about the 4 candidates for school board. Can someone please either start a new thread or post here. I have my ballot but don’t know one from the other.
