Esquel Parents File Criminal Complaint Over Missing Graduation Funds at Escuela Nº 735

Unpaid vendors uncovered days before the celebration exposed a multimillion‑peso gap in cash handled informally by a volunteer parent.

Overview

  • Families report roughly 15 million pesos were raised through peñas, matebingos and monthly contributions for the end‑of‑year party.
  • Parents discovered only the venue had been paid despite earlier assurances, with the DJ, sound and decoration still owed.
  • A criminal complaint was lodged in Chubut and additional families joined, while the accused mother denied knowingly spending the money and cited personal problems.
  • Parents say about 2 million pesos were returned after pressure, and the event went ahead using ticket sales and a canteen, leaving students with far less than expected.
  • The missing amount is estimated at 7 to 9 million pesos and efforts to recover it continue, in a case that mirrors recent disputes reported in Misiones and Córdoba.
