Board Member Caught in PTO Check Scandal | Louisville News

A Kentucky school board member, Suzanne Hundley, was caught violating state “Redbook” rules by serving as PTO president and signing checks for school events while on the board — a conflict of interest that led to an investigation. Though no funds were misused, the state ruled her role was illegal and mandated that no board members can hold officer positions in PTOs. Hundley stepped in because no one else would, saying the school couldn’t function without her leadership. Meanwhile, a former district bookkeeper sued, alleging she was fired for cooperating with the probe. The Office of Education Accountability confirmed her signature on PTO checks from 2020 to 2024, and now the district must enforce stricter compliance to avoid future violations.
