Daily Herald 5/22/2013 4:45 PM Theft charges dropped against ex-Barrington High administrator Julie Rachel Salk Lee Filas Theft charges were dropped Wednesday against a former Barrington High School administrator accused of stealing funds from the school's fine arts department. But Julie Rachel Salk paid just over $5,000 in restitution to Barrington Unit District 220, claiming she was "ultimately responsible" for the missing funds, defense attorney Doug Roberts said. www.dailyherald.com/article/20130522/news/705229787
In view of the fact that she paid $5K in restitution as part of an apparent plea deal to get the charges dropped, I'm not going to be removing this one from public view.
