The treasurer of the Parent Teachers Organization in Pavilion has been arrested, accused of stealing $40,406.10 from the group.
Cynthia R. Eggleston, 48, of Walker Road, Pavilion, is charged with third-degree grand larceny, a Class D felony.
It's alleged that Eggleston began writing checks to herself and depositing them in her own bank account to spend the funds for personal use starting in September 2013, shortly after she became treasurer. She allegedly continued to siphon off funds for personal use until this month.
Eggleston has been relieved of her duties.
She was arraigned in Pavilion Town Court and released under supervision of Genesee Justice.
The investigation was conducted by Investigator Kris Kautz, Sheriff's Office.
This is horrible. She should
This is horrible. She should be in jail not at home!?!?! What a disgrace to the Pavilion PTO, children & families she has hurt. She walked around school like she was something special the queen bee, huh now we all know why. She needed something to give her some power to cover up her wrong doing. May you live with the guilt eating you away & knowing that no one person will ever trust you again!

Pavilion is known as a "farming community".
Therefore, the PTO designation makes a lot of sense.

The National Parent Teacher
The National Parent Teacher Association is, well, a national organization.
My guess is that to be a PTA you must be chartered by the National PTA, and that probably involves some expense that local parent-teacher groups wish to avoid.
