Former Buckhead Elementary PTA President Sentenced to 90 Days in Jail for Stealing $80K

The Buckhead woman accused of stealing $80,000 from the E. Rivers Elementary School PTA was sentenced Thursday to 90 days in jail, 10 years probation and 200 hours of community service.

Maryam “Marie” Arjomand, 48, pled guilty to two counts of Forgery in the 1^stDegree and three counts of Theft by Taking by Fiduciary.

Arjomand must also write an apology to the school, PTA, Education Foundation and others harmed. She cannot work in a position of trust, in a fiduciary capacity, for a bank, nonprofit, school or for the elderly throughout the entirety of her sentence, according to a report from the BuckheadView.

During the period between 2010 and 2012, $80,000 was stolen from the E. Rivers Elementary School PTA and the E. Rivers Education Foundation, during the time when Arjomand was president of both organizations.

An investigation later revealed that the stolen funds were funneled into an account at a bank where Arjomand had previously worked. She turned herself into police in April 2012 in connection with the theft charges.
