Skolverket reports Säter municipality for misusing state grants

Sweden's National Agency for Education, Skolverket, has reported Säter municipality to the police after its former school chief misused 120,000 kronor in state grants. The funds, meant for teacher salaries, were instead used to cover deficits in the school's budget. The issue came to light following a two-month investigation.

Sweden's National Agency for Education, Skolverket, has filed a police report against Säter municipality in Dalarna. The action follows a two-month investigation revealing that the former school chief misused state grants.

The 120,000 kronor in question were designated for teacher salaries. Instead, the funds were diverted to cover financial shortfalls in the school's operations, Skolverket determined.

The development was first reported by sodran.se. Säter municipality has not publicly commented on the matter in available reports.
