Allegations of misuse of School Operational Assistance Funds (BOS) at SMPN 1 Siak Kecil involving the principal with the initials KW are now increasingly heating up. In addition to a quote under the guise of alleged donations on the orders of the principal, the recent event occurred, where teachers and deputy school principals refused to receive clarification letters from the Indonesian People's Communication Forum Investigation Team (Forkorindo)serious about this problem.25 February 2025
When the investigation team came to the school to submit a clarification letter related to the findings of the alleged abuse of BOS funds, both picket teachers and deputy principals claimed to only follow the instructions of the principal who prohibited the receipt of any letter without his knowledge. This triggered a big question regarding transparency and openness in the management of funds that are very important for the education.
"It is not not to be accepted, just in terms of this we do not dare, because we do not know where it came from and did not just be accepted," said Deputy Principal of SMPN 1 Siak Kecil when found by the Forkorindo Investigation Team and a number of media crews.
Although it was constrained, the Forkorindo investigation team plans to send a clarification letter through the post office. However, a few hours after the incident, the KW school principal contacted the investigation team and finally received a clarification letter that included the findings of alleged misuse of BOS funds in the fiscal year 2023 and 2024.
Syahnurdin, Chairperson of the Riau Province Forkorindo Investigation Team, stated that their purpose was to clarify this allegation to the school before taking further steps. "We as social control certainly want this allegation before being submitted to the law enforcement, so that the truth is clarified to the principal and we ask to be answered officially through a reply letter from the school," said Syahnurdin.
Syahnurdin also reminded that BOS funds are a very vulnerable budget that is abused if there is no strict social control. He hopes that every school principal does not play in using funds whose amount is almost billions of rupiah every year. "This BOS fund is very vulnerable to being misused if there is no social control, therefore we hope that every school principal does not play in using this routine budget," he said.
Over time, Forkorindo revealed plans to bring this problem to a higher level. If there is no official clarification or adequate response from the school, Forkorindo in the near future plans to report the alleged misuse of this BOS fund to the Riau Regional Police. This step was taken as part of Forkorindo's efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of public funds, as well as to avoid misuse that harm the community, especially the education sector.
Until this news was published, the Principal of SMPN 1 Siak Kecil had not given an official statement related to the alleged misuse of the BOS funds. The community and various parties are now looking forward to further developments and hope that this problem will soon get clarity in order to maintain the integrity of the management of education funds.
