GARY, Ind. (AP) — The Gary Community School Corp. is revoking credit cards issued to administrators in an effort to rein in expenses.

The school board on Tuesday ordered administrators to turn in their cards within 24 hours.

A recent report by The Times of Munster found that administrators charged nearly $57,500 to credit cards between May 2007 and May 2008.

School Superintendent Mary Steele-Agee charged the most during that period, nearly $16,000. She declined to comment following Tuesday's school board meeting.

School board members voted last month to eliminate their own school-issued credit cards. Only the board secretary and district business manager will now have school-issued credit cards. Others will have to turn in receipts to have expenses reimbursed.
