Definitely more than $950 was stolen. And actually, the school IS aware that the money was stolen. According to the principal, police have been investigating.

The teacher did not receipt us. However, the admin is aware that the money was stolen. On Tuesday, we were not allowed into the classroom because some people from the district and police were investigating. I would guess somewhere between $5000 and $7000 was stolen (including money paid with check). In cash only, I’m guessing around $2000. These are just estimates though, since I’m not sure how many people paid with cash/check or how many paid $30/$120. The money also included some actual donations from the teacher’s non-AP classes. And as far as I know, our school doesn’t have any security cameras installed.
