GUILDERLAND — Brenda McClaine is in limbo — at the Guilderland school where she used to teach and at the county courthouse where her case is to be heard.

McClaine, who had worked as a math teacher at Farnsworth Middle School, and is still listed on the district’s online roster, was arrested in March for second-degree grand larceny, a felony, for stealing over $100,000 from the Guilderland Teachers’ Association, according to the Guilderland Police who arrested her.

Guilderland’s superintendent, Marie Wiles, told The Enterprise last week that McClaine was still on administrative leave from the district. Asked if McClaine was being paid, Wiles pointed out that teachers typically aren’t paid over the summer.

“We’re kind of in limbo now because we’re in summer,” Wiles said. “It’s a function outside the school district. We’re waiting to see what happens in the court system.”

McClaine’s case was on the court calendar last week, according to Cecilia Walsh, spokeswoman for the Albany County District Attorney’s Office, but was adjourned to Tuesday, Aug. 26.

Albany County Court Judge Stephen W. Herrick said in court on Tuesday that McClaine’s case was adjourned again until Sept. 4.

McClaine had been released on $15,000 bail after being arraigned in Guilderland Town Court.

Asked if the school district had any guidelines for employees whose cases hadn’t yet been heard in court, Wiles said, “Unfortunately, no. They are all judgment calls the board and I are required to make. We’ll have to wait and see.”

Asked if McClaine would be teaching if her case hadn’t been heard by the time school starts, Wiles said it was not clear what her duties would be. Opening day for staff is Sept 2; classes start on Sept. 4.

In March, while the police investigation was ongoing, McClaine was re-assigned to work on a curriculum project “so as not to disrupt the educational process,” Wiles said at the time. After her arrest, she was placed on leave and paid her regular teachers’ salary on a per diem basis.

She worked for the district since 1999, most recently teaching math at Farnsworth to 70 students in an Academic Intervention Services program, offering additional help to sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders.

McClaine was 38 at the time of her arrest and had lived at 37 Armstrong Court in Altamont.

McClaine had served as treasurer of the Guilderland Teachers’ Association, having been elected in the spring of 2012 to serve a two-year term, starting on July 1, 2012. The GTA has about 450 members. Their dues are a portion of their salaries; the members pay biweekly dues of roughly $40 each, according to Maceo Dubose, who was the GTA president at the time of the investigation and arrest.

The felony complaint states that, between Aug. 13, 2012 and Oct. 28, 2013, McClaine stole $100,382.50 in currency from the First Niagara Bank account of the GTA.

Dubose said at the time that the local union, affiliated with New York State United Teachers, had been reimbursed in full in February. He said the check came through NYSUT, which had been investigating the case, 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, who said, “Reimbursement before or after, the crime still exists.”

“NYSUT did not cover it,” said Carl Korn, spokesman for NYSUT, in March, explaining that the locals are covered by fidelity bonds but the reimbursement funds did not come from a fidelity bond. “I don’t know where it came from,” said Korn, suggesting The Enterprise ask McClaine. “She would know,” he said.

McClaine did not return calls from The Enterprise.

Throughout, Superintendent Wiles has stressed that the money McClaine is accused of stealing is from union funds. Wiles said in March, “Our community needs to remember this was not district funds, not taxpayer dollars.”
