Federal Way schools report fraud

The Federal Way School District reported a case of fraud to the Federal Way Police Department and the state auditor’s office.

The call was made to police at 5:18 p.m. Feb. 20, with the call being logged in as “embezzlement.”

A police report is not yet available.

“The district identified a case of suspected fraud and notified the state auditor,” spokeswoman Diane Turner said.
