According to reports, a woman from Kansas was recently staying with her boyfriend in a camper in Beatrice, a southeastern Nebraska town approximately 40 miles away from Lincoln.

A woman who formerly served as treasurer of the Parent-Teacher Organization at a Southern Florida charter school is facing charges for allegedly stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the organization’s bank account.

According to reports, the woman, who had spent nearly four years as the Parent-Teacher Organization treasurer at Imagine Charter School in Coral Springs, was relieved of her duties last year after she was suspected of taking money from the organization’s funds. It was believed that she was a likely suspect since she had direct access to the bank account where the money was kept. The situation began in the summer of 2024, when a board member reportedly noticed that a substantial amount of money appeared to be missing from the Wells Fargo account. It was initially believed that $12,000 was unaccounted for, but later, the authorities alleged that they found approximately $44,000 had been taken.

As a result of the accusations, the 55-year-old was fired from her position as treasurer.
