Former Alabama school financial officer pleads guilty to embezzlement

Authorities say a former financial officer of the Ozark City Board of Education has been sentenced to two years in jail after pleading guilty to misusing public funds.

Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange announced Monday that 53-year-old Monica Baker Foote will be placed in the Dale County Community Corrections Program.
Foote was sentenced after pleading guilty to one count of intentionally using her official position for unlawful personal gain of money and one count of first-degree theft of property from the Ozark City School Board in money or checks valued at more than $2,500.
An audit found that Foote had embezzled about $97,000 from the school board.
She was ordered to pay more than $102,000 in restitution to the Ozark City Board of Education.
