A judge set bail at $150,000 Thursday for a former Oak Park public school employee who was charged with stealing 47 iPad minis and other equipment that was intended to be used by students with special needs, according to district officials and authorities.

Markeita L. Beecher-Martin, 25, of Radcliff, Ky., surrendered to Oak Park police on Wednesday after a 10-month investigation by the police department, according to Oak Park Police Commander LaDon Reynolds. She was charged with theft, Reynolds said.

He said the police investigation found that Beecher-Martin was selling the computers on Craigslist.

“We identified her as the seller,” Reynolds said. “She came to Oak Park (from Kentucky) and turned herself in.”

Chris Jasculca, a spokesman for Oak Park School District 97, said that Beecher-Martin worked for the district between June 2013 and November 2013, but told district officials that she had to leave the job because she was being deployed in the military.

Jasculca said the district found the iPads and a few laptop computers missing in late August 2013 after conducting an extensive search for them in all the district’s buildings.

“We were in the process of adding new devices to our network,” Jasculca said. “We went to collect the iPads and found that many were missing. We informed the police right away.”

Jasculca said the district’s insurance was able to replace all the items.

Jasculca also said in an emailed statement that: “We also want to assure the community that, following the incident that took place last summer, we have implemented more stringent protocols and procedures for safeguarding the resources that play such a critical role in the success of our schools and the children we serve."
