School administrator guilty of mail fraud

America's political leadership is almost singularly dedicated to defending crime like this.

On Wednesday, a former school administrator in Little Rock, Arkansas, pleaded guilty to mail fraud for wasting school district funds for her personal shopping expenses. She squandered over $230,000 on the district's credit cards – money that was supposed to be for children in early childhood programs.

From 2014-18, the administrator wosted school funds on these items...

• Over $4,000 on a recliner, bath rugs, and other goodies from Wayfair.

• Over $27,000 on 83 unauthorized purchases from PayPal.

• Almost $200,000 on 2,462 items from Amazon, including housewares, cosmetics, clothes, gift cards, pet products, and knitting materials.

The purchases were made using 2 credit cards funded by state and federal grants – i.e., the taxpayers. She was caught when she was found to be submitting "fabricated receipts and false transaction logs."

She must now pay restitution – in addition to the real sentencing that will take place at a later date.

This story is yet another cog in the revolving door that defines the crime wave that is the American school system.
