A former bookkeeper at Oak Grove Elementary School has been indicted. This case was also investigated by the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office after school officials reported discrepancies with book fair collections. The investigation determined that former Oak Grove Elementary School bookkeeper Jennifer L. Foster stole $12,325.46 from the school’s book fairs, chorus clubs, field trips, and Chromebook insurance payments. Foster was the school’s bookkeeper beginning in 2017 until her resignation in August 2021. The Marshall County Grand Jury indicted Foster in March 2023 for two counts of theft of property over $10,000, one count of forgery, and one count of official misconduct. Jennifer L. Foster was taken into custody on Saturday, April 15th. Her bond was set at $15,000.
