Former Litchfield principal gets 5-15 years in prison for stealing $152K from school

NASHUA — For stealing more than $150,000 from a private school in Litchfield during her tenure as principal, Shannon Dannible was sentenced Wednesday to 5 to 15 years in prison. 


Using the stolen money to purchase jewelry, computers, trips to Disney World, Turks and Caicos and more, Dannible has been ordered to pay the full restitution of $152,467.65 to St. Francis of Assisi School.


"She put her leisure and her luxury above all others … this is truly a story of greed," said Senior Assistant Attorney General Benjamin Agati. 


Dannible pleaded no contest to a felony charge of unauthorized taking or transfer for stealing the funds between 2007 and 2011 when she was principal.
