Ex-School Official Charged with Embezzling Funds
posted 1:30 pm Tue October 02, 2007 - WASHINGTON
Court papers were filed Monday charging Eugene Smith with stealing money several months after he stopped working as the director of internal audit.
Smith was given control over closing out the accounts of New Vistas Preparatory Public Charter School when it was shut down in 2001. Court papers say the school's bank account had more than $500,000. Prosecutors say that Smith used an illicit debit card to access the account after he transferred it to his personal control.
The charges were first reported in The Washington Examiner.

Yes, another seasonal DC story.
School officials stealing funds,hydrants not working, schools unable to open due to fire / safety issues, manhole covers flying about, dead bodies found at schools..etc.
It's like Groundhog Day but a lot less funny.
