Two former executives of an Eastern Panhandle vocational school have been acquitted of misdemeanor charges related to missing financial records.

Robert Sisk had served as director of South Branch Career and Technical Center in Petersburg for 19 years. Tamela Kitzmiller, of Elk Garden, had served as financial services coordinator for 14. Both resigned in 2007.

Both were found not guilty by a magistrate earlier this week of alteration and deletion of computer data.

Sisk was also acquitted of petit larceny. He had been accused of removing a hard drive from a computer,

Former secretary Lee Ann Shreve pleaded no contest on August 14 to the alteration charge.

Last fall, independent auditors found personal credit card purchases, improper payments and missing receipts and records.

The state Board of Education took control of the center in April.
