Newell says six charges were files… two for embezzlement by a public employee, two counts of falsification of public records, and two counts of forgery.
It appears MacDonald used her position as business manager to access checks and credit cards to purchase groceries, gas, personal retail items and pay her utilities. The investigation indicates that she falsified financial documents to cover her tracks.
MacDonald worked for the TRHS school district as the business manager from June 2007 thru June 2014.
