Louise ISD teacher resigns

A teacher from Louise ISD resigned just one day before being arrested for allegedly stealing around $9,000 from the FFA Alumni Booster Club. Keri Jones, a 45-year-old science teacher, was booked into Wharton County Jail on a theft charge. The booster club officials grew suspicious when they noticed low funds for an upcoming banquet. An investigation revealed that Jones, who had been the club’s treasurer for several years, was involved in the theft. She admitted to taking the cash over the course of a year. If convicted, she could face up to two years in prison.
