Teacher steal prom money

Former teacher stole prom money? A former high school teacher in Ohio has been charged with stealing money that was supposed to go towards a school prom. The teacher reportedly had students give her money for prom tickets, but never turned it in. The school says she then quit her job while the missing $800 was being investigated.

Ex-teacher Charged With Stealing Ohio Prom Money, A former high school teacher in southwest Ohio has been charged with stealing money meant for a school prom in a cash-strapped district.

The district says a teacher on the Lakota East High School prom committee apparently urged students to pay her directly, instead of following the ticket sale process. The Butler County sheriff's office says the 45-year-old woman has been charged with misdemeanor theft.

The office received a report that the woman sold tickets for the April prom but failed to turn in the money. Some students complained about having trouble getting admission to the April dance. The district says $800 was missing, and a relative has paid $160 of that.
