Credit card records obtained by the auditors show Scott used her Education Explosion credit card for at least $130,494 on trips taken by the Scott family to places like Egypt, Disneyland Paris and others. The report also says $166,520 in charter school funds were for the lease and/or purchase of a 2017 Acura MDX and a 2021 Land Rover Velar from August 2017 to April 2024 in the report.
Other personal expenses noted in the report accuse Scott of withdrawing $42,371 from the FICS bank account on May 27, 2023, to buy a cashier's check payable to NOLA Motorcars.
Records found by the auditors indicate Scott and her daughter purchased a pre-owned 2018 Tesla Model S from NOLA Motorcars on May 27, 2020, for $42,371. Evidence that Scott purchased Louis Vuitton bags was also present.
"By improperly diverting funds to FICS' bank account and using those funds for their personal benefit, Ms. Scott and her family may have violated the Louisiana Constitution and state and federal law," the audit summary states
The school says it intends to pursue legal action against the Louisiana Legislative Auditor over what the school says were factual inaccuracies in the report.
"Despite providing the auditors with documented facts and evidence refuting these claims, they still moved forward with publishing their report without making corrections," the statement said. "This disregard for factual accuracy has left us no choice but to take legal action to protect the integrity of our school and ensure due process."

If every city, state, and federal agency got audited, and then removed the unneccesary spending, I’ll bet the highest income tax bracket would be around 10 percent.
With tarriffs, there’ll be no income taxes.
Charter schools are government funded, so another huge rip-off of taxpayers. Perhaps even on the Federal level too, from the slush fund called the Department of Education.....
She is a car crazy gal, loved lux automobiles, bought quite a few with her ill gotten gain.

Apparently audits are evil and a threat to Our Democracy™.
Clawback, prosecute, and good luck to them on all of their tax filings. If you buy a car for personal use using public funds then its assumed that’s your net income in kind and that you witholding taxes were paid on time. There are extra penalties and interest on top. And when an officer does this sort of fraud then the penalties/interest are higher and the officer is personally responsible for reimbursing the entity that was supposed to do the withholdings.
My advice for anyone buying a car for personal use is to buy it with your own money. The challenge for people wanting to steal is that when it involves money it leaves a paper trail & then you get got. Its so much easier to just be honest.
I was waiting for these types of stories to appear - where some conservative group ‘jay walks’ while democrats are stealing hundreds of billions of dollars.
The MSM will say ‘they all do it’ as though it’s equal. It’s not.
Expect more of these stories in the future. (that said, yes, our side should walk on water...but realistically it probably won’t happen)
Sadly, no need to look. Why do some people simple feel entitled to the property of others.

LOL!
bttt
She and her family needs to pay every penny back and jail time.
So much for charter schools solving all of the problems with education. Graft, corruption, and indoctrination follows certain people around. Grifters will seek out and infest any human endeavor.
Yearly audits.
Every business, charity, school, church or what ever.
Have a yearly audit.
Just another low-IQ, DEI-entitled ghettopotomus.....the country is rife with em...
BUSTED !!!!!!!!!!!!
