Schools cutting bingo fund raisers, daunted by state rules

MANCHESTER, Conn. (AP) _ Organizers of some school bingo events say they are shying away from the fund raisers this year, afraid of breaking complicated state finance rules.

School officials, parents and community organizers say many were alarmed after East Catholic High School in Manchester was cited last fall for using a money wheel in a fundraising drive.

State officials decided against legal action after determining the school was unaware it was breaking state laws. Those rules require organizers to register with the state Division of Special Revenue, go through background checks and other regulations.
