Cheer Coach Accused of Stealing School Funds

A former cheer coach in Cumberland County, Tennessee, Donna Mifflin, has been indicted for allegedly stealing over $5,000 from school cheer funds between April and October last year. She reportedly collected money from parents via Venmo and cash, but failed to deposit it into the official school account, even padding expenses and buying gear for a family member without payment. The Tennessee Comptroller’s Office emphasized the need for strict financial oversight in schools, warning that allowing one person to handle all money without checks and balances creates serious risks. Mifflin now faces one charge of theft over $2,500 — a case that underscores how critical accountability is when handling public funds.
