BARRINGTON – The former chairperson of the fine arts department at Barrington High School has been charged with bilking more than $5,000 in ticket revenue, according to the Barrington Police Department.

Julie Rachel Salk, 50, of Barrington, turned herself in to police Tuesday after a Lake County warrant was issued late last week. She was charged with felony theft involving a Barrington High School musical performance in March.

An employee at Barrington District 220 last April alerted officials to suspicious financial management practices by Salk, according to a news release. District officials later notified police about the misconduct, and an investigation ensued.
