Overview
- Parents at Escuela N.º 735 in Esquel filed a complaint, joined by additional families, alleging a volunteer withheld most of about 15 million pesos collected for the graduation party.
- Following the complaint and pressure from families, the accused returned roughly 3 million pesos in two installments, according to parents.
- Families discovered just days before the celebration that only the venue had been paid, with the DJ and decorator still awaiting money.
- The event ultimately went ahead after parents covered outstanding costs through ticket sales and a canteen organized for the night.
- Parents say the funds were managed without receipts or shared accounting, and local coverage compares the case to recent incidents in Misiones and Córdoba.
