Second year of losses over $16K for LCSD

The Lloydminster Catholic School Division has reported losses of more than $16,000 for a second consecutive school year.

According to Saskatchewan’s Public Accounts, the division lost $16,399 between September and November 2024 due to a fraud incident in which someone impersonated a supplier and misdirected payments.

Another report released this month shows that another $16,161 was misappropriated by an employee between January and mid‑September 2025, involving cash and a corporate purchase card. The Losses of Public Money report indicates that the individual is no longer employed with LCSD, that $10,341 has been recovered and the former staff “has committed” to making further payments on the balance.

Police investigations are ongoing, and the school division says safeguards have been strengthened to prevent future losses.

His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
