From Times Wire Reports

The paychecks were being cashed regularly until a few weeks ago, when employees were required to provide identification to pick them up. Since then, checks made out to more than 300 names have not been picked up, and the names have not been verified as school employees.
The unclaimed checks are seen as evidence of a major problem of mismanaged finances estimated to be costing the district at least $7 million a year.
