Yennadon Elementary PAC voted to provide $10,000 to the PAC president for his legal defense.

Parents are up in arms after the president of a local elementary school PAC was given $10,000 from the group's funds – earmarked for students – for his personal legal fees.

According to the meeting agenda, which was posted publicly online, the motion was brought to the floor by Towers, himself.
