High School clerk in California accused of embezzling $350,000.
Over the span of about 15 years, Deenan Kuhlman allegedly steadily siphoned off nearly $350,000.
“She was responsible for collecting money from students mostly — for dances, ticket sales, etc.” said Brian Murray, Assistant Superintendent of Palm Springs Unified School District.
“And then it was Kuhlman’s responsibility to make sure that it was all deposited in the right accounts and to make sure that that money was accounted for.”
An auditor reviewing the district’s finances began to ask questions about the 20-year district employee’s bookkeeping; shortly, Kuhlman reportedly came clean about the embezzlement.
Murray says Kuhlman had two different sets of books and that she was able to create documents that aligned perfectly to bank statements.
Kuhlman is out on a $10,000 bond. Her arraignment is set for September 26.
