A former Ashland City Elementary STEM Academy Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) president is facing theft, forgery and computer crimes charges after an investigation led by the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office resulted her indictment
Investigators were made aware of Jessica Tandy, 29, after former PTO officials reported the misappropriated funds.
The investigation revealed that Tandy, who served as president during the 2020-2021 school year, allegedly stole a total of $3,005.70 from the PTO.
Investigators say $2,839.40 was stolen through 42 unauthorized, personal purchases with the PTO’s bank card for items from Target, Walmart, Logan’s Roadhouse, Old Navy, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Cracker Barrel and other local and online retailers.
Tandy allegedly received a fraudulent reimbursement for the remaining $166.30 after submitting a false claim for candy bought for a PTO back-to-school appreciation event.
