TUCSON, Arizona (KOLD News 13) – Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced the charges against Rosa Maria Ordonez, the former finance manager of the Pueblo High School bookstore in the Tucson Unified School District.

Ordonez has been charged on two counts of theft and a crime against public ethics, according to a press release.

Ordonez was hired to provide variety at school sports events and in the bookstore. She was also responsible for receiving payments from Pueblo students, parents, and donors for various school-related purposes.

Ordonez allegedly ceased reporting in August 2018 and resigned in September 2018 without returning the district’s funds or putting them in the bookstore’s vault.

This case has been investigated by the Auditor General’s Office and is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Lindsay St. John.
