A former bookkeeper and secretary for a Barrow County elementary school has been charged with theft of more than 43-thousand dollars from the school. Authorities say 45-year-old Lucretia Carder of Winder was charged with three counts of forgery, and three counts of theft-by-taking. A Barrow County official says Carder worked for eight years at Holsenbeck Elementary School, north of Winder. She was asked to resign back in May after an annual state audit uncovered discrepancies at the school.
