As a result of the investigation, warrants were issued for Martin on Sept. 22. She faced charges including two counts of identity theft, two counts of forgery of an instrument, two counts of uttering a forged instrument, and one count of obtaining property by false pretenses.

Martin was hired March 1, 2007, and is no longer an employee, the school district stated in a news release Thursday afternoon.
