    GTA funds reimbursed before McClaine's arrest

    A middle-school math teacher, Brenda McClaine, was arrested on March 27 for second-degree grand larceny, a felony, for stealing over $100,000 from the Guilderland Teachers’ Association, according to the Guilderland Police who made the arrest. The GTA president, Maceo Dubose, said that the local union, affiliated with New York State United Teachers, had been reimbursed in full.


    The check came through NYSUT, which had been investigating the case, he said, but he did not know if the funds had been returned by McClaine or not. Neither did Captain Curtis Cox, spokesman for the Guilderland Police. “I don’t know how that money was returned,” he said.
