For those complaining about the school not receiving any money, just to let you know, they received full compensation for the embezzled amount thanks to insurance. I am not defending the woman at all, but to think the school has gone without is not knowing all the facts.

This lady was sentenced quite some time ago. Why so long to update your story and start new discussion on it? Also, she did have to spend some jail time, she was incarcerated while waiting on diagnostic/eval with DOC, then said process takes 60 days, then she spent more time in jail waiting to go back to court. Get your facts straight, then post on it, WSAZ!! Not taking up for her, just want the facts out there for everyone commenting on this.
