TAMPA, Fla. – The former senior advisor at Chamberlain High School was sentenced yesterday to 18 months probation for stealing money from her students’ prom fund and depositing it into her account at Suncoast Schools FCU. The 32-year-old Foster-Lawrentz, also a teacher at the school, was arrested after the credit union saw 21 checks going into her personal account. The money was raised by her students by washing cars, picking up trash and serving refreshments during the school’s sporting events. With the help of the credit union, which made good on the stolen funds, the senior prom went on anyway. Foster-Lawrentz was also ordered to pay restitution, for which she will have to sell her home.
