Two more ex-officials from a Buena Park elementary school have been indicted on a fraud scheme. They are alleged to have submitted false overtime slips to conceal the purchase of iPhones, iPads and approximately $30,000 in gift cards.
Federal prosecutors in Chicago announced charges Wednesday against Jennifer McBride and William Jackson, who along with former Brennemann Elementary principal Sarah Jackson Abedelal, allegedly submitted false overtime slips to conceal the purchase of iPhones, iPads and approximately $30,000 in gift cards.
The prosecutors alleged the overtime aspect of the fraud scheme was carried out by Abedelal and McBride, with assistance from Jackson, two other former employees at the school, and others. “It was further part of the scheme that Abedelal falsely and fraudulently represented to the school employees that the unearned overtime money was going to be used to pay legitimate expenses incurred by Brennemann School,” prosecutors said in the indictment, “when in fact Abedelal intended to convert the money to her own personal use and benefit.”
