Kentucky judge lets PTA appeal fundraising records release

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A judge has delayed his order for Kentucky PTA to release its financial records while the private nonprofit appeals.

The Courier Journal reports Judge Charles Cunningham on Monday directed the nonprofit to file its request for an injunction, rather than fulfill his initial order to release the records to an advocacy group.

“Dear JCPS” founder Gay Adelmann wants to see the records to show how much money is being raised by each of Jefferson County’s parent teacher associations, and where the money is going. She suspects schools with lower minority populations are getting more cash.

Earlier, the judge also asked Attorney General Andy Beshear to issue an opinion, but then said it was wrong of him to shirk responsibility for ruling in the case.
