Thousands of dollars of equipment and inventory are still missing from Key Middle School, according to a report released Thursday by the Houston Independent School District. 

The report also found that students at Key were subject to unauthorized fundraising activities by teachers and other staff members. The money received from these fundraisers has yet to be accounted for.

The report is a result of an investigation by an outside firm that HISD hired in November in the wake of the district receiving anonymous tips. School officials examined surveillance tape from the Key campus. The video showed multiple adults moving equipment out of the school and into vehicles. 

The district found other areas of alleged mismanagement at the school.

For example:

• Equipment is missing from the school, including 16 Dell laptops, a MacBook Pro, and 10 Hewlett-Packard notebook computers.
  

• More than $39,000 worth of food was purchased by the school over the past two years for students to buy during school lunch hours. But it appears Key Middle School employees gouged the kids: Items such as candy, snacks, and beverages were sold to students at mark-ups of up to 400%. The money made from these sales has not been accounted for.
  

• The investigation also found that teachers on the Key campus had copies of the 6th and 7th grade math TAKS test prior to the actual test dates. The report names math teacher Richard Adebayo. According to the report, the HISD Office of the Inspector General linked Adebayo to another TAKS cheating scandal in 2004. In that investigation a hearing officer said that cheating did take place, but that HISD failed to prove that Adebayo was responsible.
  

• The HISD employees named in the investigation include former Key principal Mable Caleb, interim principal Bernett Harris and business manager Peggy Collins.
