==Controversy==
In May 2014, the North Reading Police Department began investigations into the president of the Athletic Boosters Association John Norton after he mailed them a personal check to pay for a police detail hired to work a basketball tournament. In August, the North Reading School Board officially severed its ties with the Athletic Boosters organization, at the time giving no official reason. Norton was arraigned in October of the same year. He is charged with embezzlement of over $10,000 intended for students.
 
The School Committee has encouraged citizens not to continue donating to the Athletic Boosters, but the police have insisted that they believe the behavior to be isolated. In addition to the arraignment of Norton, NRPD issued a formal complaint to the Attorney General's Office about the Athletic Boosters' failure to register proper legal filings as a non-profit organization.
 
The Athletic Boosters, which was an independent club separate from other associations like the School Committee, Music Boosters, or Parents Association, is no longer in existence.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wp.localheadlinenews.com/?p=2971|title=Norton arrested on larceny charges|access-date=June 24, 2018}}</ref>
