Maufas reimbursed the district in four payments over several months for the personal expenses, even as she continued to charge personal gas, food, parking and other items to the Diner's Club card. Her repayments did not include interest...
Maufas said in an interview with The Chronicle that she believed that as long as she paid back the personal charges "we were fine."
What I did not find in the story was whether she started repaying these charges on her own or if she was "found out" and then started repaying them.
None of the charges Maufas racked up appeared to be illegal, but Superintendent Carlos Garcia said The Chronicle's investigation spurred him to tighten district policies related to credit cards used by board members and some administrators.
Wouldn't you think that someone besides a newspaper reporter would be scrutinizing credit card bills?
Doesn't she get paid a salary? Doesn't she have a personal credit card? Why was she using this particular card for those expenses? Why isn't someone in charge asking her these questions?
