The former treasurer of Queensland Downs Elementary parent council will not have to go to jail for defrauding the group of more than $29,000.
Kimberley Ann Wilk was handed a conditional jail sentence of two years less a day, to be served in the community, on Friday by provincial court Judge Judith Shriar.
She will have to pay back the money, $3,000 of it right away and the rest at $500 a month until it has all been returned.
Shriar said it was aggravating that it was a trust theft and "was planned, as opposed to impulsive."
She also noted the parents' group was particularly vulnerable to being a victim of crime and that it has been harmed by lost revenue -- because it has not been able to get another casino fundraiser since -- and in its reputation.
