Dear Parents and Community Members,
We are writing to inform you of a personnel matter that has come to our attention and the steps the district is taking in response.
The district was notified today that criminal charges were filed on September 25, 2026 against Crystal (Haggard) Schmidkofler, who has served as secretary at Barnard Elementary School. Ms. Schmidkofler has been on administrative leave for the past six months pending the results of an investigation which culminated with these charges. The charges that she faces relate to alleged financial misconduct in her separate role as secretary/treasurer of the THS Cheer Booster Club, a position she has held since 2021. We understand the charge is embezzlement.
It is important to clarify that booster clubs are independent organizations that operate separately from the school district. While booster clubs support our students and programs, they maintain their own financial accounts and governance. The district does not have regulatory authority or oversight responsibility for booster club finances. The booster club does provide an annual financial report to the district, which is an informational spreadsheet of revenues and expenditures.
In her district employment, Ms. Schmidkofler has worked as the elementary school secretary for three years, a role that includes oversight of the school's activity fund. Prior to this position, she worked in a support role in the classroom and did not have access to district funds.
Out of an abundance of caution and our commitment to financial accountability, the district engaged an independent external auditor to conduct a comprehensive review of the elementary school activity fund. This audit examined all financial transactions and controls during the period of Ms. Schmidkofler's tenure in this role. There were no findings of mismanagement of activity funds from her role as school secretary that resulted from the independent audit.
We understand this news may be concerning. Please know that the district takes its fiduciary responsibility seriously and is committed to transparency and accountability.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact me anytime.

Important Form: Please Complete by Friday
Parents and Guardians:
We are asking ALL families to complete the Economically Disadvantaged Form for each student, even if you do not believe your family qualifies.
Why does this matter? The information collected through this form is used to determine funding our schools receive and helps us access resources and programs for our students. When every family completes the form, we have the most accurate information possible to ensure our schools receive the funding they are eligible for.
Completing the form does not mean your family is economically disadvantaged. If your family does not qualify, you should still complete the form and indicate that.
As part of the process, you will also select the school site for each student.
Please take a few minutes to complete the form for each student by the end of the week.
District Wide Enrollment is happening on Tuesday, July 21st, at the THS Alumni Building!
