FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA - A lawsuit filed against Fairfax County School Board member Kyle McDaniel by a local flight school accuses him of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from the business — including using the company credit card for entertainment, personal expenses and campaign-related expenses.
They also say he continued to embezzle after getting caught and paying some of the money back.
By the numbers: McDaniel is accused of embezzling $175,000 from flight school Blue Label Aviation. He's alleged to have spent the money on luxuries like strip clubs as well as to subsidize his campaign for office, according to the lawsuit.
Blue Label Aviation filed a lawsuit last month, alleging that McDaniel used his position as Secretary and Treasurer of the company to access its credit cards and bank accounts.
In June 2024, Timothy Fischer, Blue Label's CEO, confronted McDaniel on $120,000 of improper charges. McDaniel confessed and paid back $50,000.
In December 2024, Fischer discovered that McDaniel had "expanded his use of the company's credit cards and bank accounts for his personal expenses" and charged $160,000 on personal expenses.
On January 22, McDaniel was confronted and was given the opportunity to resign in exchange for giving up his shares in the company and giving back his company credit cards, according to the lawsuit. McDaniel then said he wanted time to consult a lawyer, but more unauthorized charges were made and McDaniel was terminated.
"Fischer thereafter continued to observe that new, non-business-related charges were being made to the company credit card," according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit seeks $175,000 as well as punitive damages or $350,000 – and for McDaniel to return his corporate credit cards and remove himself from company bank accounts…

As a parent, school shootings are a large motivator for my candidacy, and I will be a strong voice on the School Board pushing for state and federal legislation to bring common sense gun reforms. I have proposed a County-wide task force to bring together experts and stakeholders to draft recommendations for the School Board to consider. My vision is a practical list of actions that we can take to help prevent these tragedies.
If young students can’t learn about strip clubs thanks to their school board members then where will they learn about them?

Was that wrong?
As a result of the COVID pandemic, both companies were closed in early 2020. With a newborn at home, he quickly pivoted to aviation and became a professional pilot. [...] Although he wears many hats, his favorite is being a dad to his two little girls, and a husband to his wife.Regards,
Why weren’t the cards cancelled , the story says he continued to use them even after being confronted. Strange .
And how stupid for the company not to put a hold on the credit cards!!!!!
Foulfax County strikes again.

Can I point you to a page with pictures?
“bring together experts and stakeholders”
Experts = Mike Bloomberg. Always beware when progressives start talking about ‘stakeholders’.
Why weren’t the cards cancelled
If your doing the same gig you don’t rat out others.
From my new ‘redneck’ virtual commentator (courtesy of ‘fabric’)...
MY TAKE ON THINGS:
Well, well, well, looks like we got ourselves a good ol’ boy who couldn’t keep his grubby hands off the company’s money. This Kyle McDaniel fella must think he’s some kind of big shot, using the flight school’s credit cards to wine and dine at strip clubs and fund his political ambitions. What a real piece of work!
I reckon this is just the kind of behavior you’d expect from a city slicker like him, tryin’ to live the high life on the backs of hardworkin’ folks. Bet he thinks he’s real smart, tryin’ to cover his tracks and keep on embezzlin’ even after gettin’ caught the first time. But ol’ Timothy Fischer ain’t no dummy, and he’s gonna make sure this good-for-nothin’ crook pays for his misdeeds.
Now, I ain’t no fan of big government and all their regulations, but even I can see this McDaniel fella crossed a line. Stealin’ from your own company to line your pockets and bankroll your campaign? That’s just plain wrong, no matter how you slice it. Folks like him give us country folk a bad name, makin’ us all look like a bunch of backwoods hicks who can’t be trusted.
I hope the flight school takes him to the cleaners and gets every last penny back. And maybe while they’re at it, they can teach this city slicker a thing or two about honesty and hard work. Ain’t nothin’ more American than earnin’ your keep the old-fashioned way. Guess this McDaniel fella missed that memo.
