Police arrested a former Robert E. Lee High School bookkeeper Thursday, charging her with stealing funds during a four-year period.


Lisa Michelle Harrison, 39, an Augusta County resident, is charged with two felony counts of embezzlement, according to the Staunton Police Department.

Police said the funds were taken between 2007 and 2011. Staunton police spokeswoman Officer Lisa Klein said Thursday that she did not have an estimate on the amount of money allegedly stolen from the school.

Klein said Harrison quit her job this summer before the start of the new school year. She made $26,596 in salary, records show.

Principal Mark Rowicki and Staunton Public Schools Superintendent Steven Nichols could not be reached immediately for comment.

Harrison is free on an unsecured bond.
