A high school teacher has been charged with theft by conversion after keeping funds she collected for a senior trip to Disney World.

Officials state that Christy Wise, a Coffee County High School substitute teacher, took the $7400 earmarked for the Disney trip.

The problem was discovered when 50 students gathered at the high school to meet the bus which was to take them to Orlando. Neither Ms. Wise or the bus materialized prompting authorities to file charges against the teacher.

Following the arrest, Wise posted bond and was released.
