Feb 6, 2026 | 10:15 AM

More than $16,000 in public money was lost within a Lloydminster-area school division after an employee allegedly misappropriated funds.

The Losses of Public Money report covering September to November 2025 states the Lloydminster Roman Catholic School Division No. 89 reported a loss of $16,161. 

The report states the employee misused funds, including cash and a corporate purchase card, for personal items between January and mid-September 2025.

The school division reported the matter to the RCMP and said the employee is no longer employed with the division. 

According to the report, the division has recovered $10,341 so far, while the former employee has committed to repaying the remaining balance.
