Eskridge principal charged with theft
ESKRIDGE -- A northwest Kansas principal was suspended and charged with misdemeanor theft after investigators said she was videotaped taking money from a teacher's purse.
Kimberlee Andersen, the 47-year-old principal at Mission Valley High School in Eskridge, was charged Thursday in three separate thefts of $15, $20 and $40 in cash.
Wabaunsee County Attorney Norbert Marek says a teacher at the school set up a video camera after she noticed money was missing, thinking she might catch a student.
Andersen's attorney pleaded not guilty on her behalf, and she was released after posting a $500 bond.
School board members in Mission Valley Unified School District 330 also passed a resolution giving Andersen notice of their intent to fire her.
