Midlothian, VIRGINIA

SENTENCED Dec 13, 2007 - Daniella H. Kyriakides, 54, a substitute ** art teacher at Clover Hill High School, was arrested and charged with embezzling money from a school's band booster club.

Police allege that Kyriakides stole about $4,900 from the booster club when she was the club's president and treasurer. Kyriakides has been released pending a court appearance in January.
The incident is still under investigation.

TT - the reason we cover these kinds of stories is because most often the only sentence handed out is probation with a promise to repay the money. That works out fine for the school district and the band club but it is hardly something you want to teach students.

SENTENCED (Sorta) Sept 30, 2008 - Kyriakides entered an Alford plea of guilt to one count of embezzlement. She was sentenced to three years in prison -- all suspended. Kyriakides repaid the entire $4,900 sum soon after the club's new treasurer, who discovered the discrepancies.
