The school has collected checks that were returned for non-sufficient funds. The materials or admission to the event purchased by these checks were distributed or attended by the individuals. Multiple attempts at collection, including phone calls and letters, from Principal and Bookkeeper, were unsuccessful and in each case, the student is no longer enrolled.
