Past PTA President At South Middle School Charged With Theft, Forgery, Arlington Heights
An Arlington Heights woman with several ties to the community was charged last week with stealing money from a local parent-teacher group, police said Tuesday.

The PTA notified Arlington Heights police about the possible discrepancy on June 3, 2014, after Hoppe left her work as PTA president, according to court records.
Denise Hoppe, 48, was charged Thursday August 14, 2014 with theft and forgery. Both of the charges are felonies.
