A report was filed in November with the Culver City Police Department.
El Rincon PTA President Aimee Tarver called an emergency meeting last November to discuss the missing money. The PTA board made a request for an audit in October, when the money was first discovered missing, according to Tarver. She told Patch at that time the discrepancies could be traced back to January 2011.
