Authorities have charged a former Boston Public Schools principal with one count of wire fraud for allegedly misusing nearly $40,000 in public money on things like all-inclusive personal vacations.

Mattapan resident Naia Wilson, 60, served as the head of school at Hyde Park‘s New Mission High School, an autonomous pilot school within Boston Public Schools, from 2006 to 2019, the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts said in a press release Tuesday.

Between September 2016 and May 2019, Wilson requested checks from the school’s account that were listed as being for other people, the release said. She then allegedly fraudulently endorsed those checks and deposited the checks into her own account. The persons the checks were for never knew of the checks or authorized Wilson to deposit them in her own account.

Wilson used some of the embezzled $38,806 to pay for two all-inclusive vacations to Barbados for herself and her friends in 2016 and 2018, the release said. Both times, Wilson requested checks payable to other people who went on the trips.

Reparations?

Naia immediately implemented her backup plan of changing her name to “Biden” to thwart the investigation and prosecution...

Another affirmative action black woman .

It never ends .

I see an opportunity for the Biden Family Syndicate here.

Sell adoptions to people on the second tier of the American legal system.

Bet the school’s test scores will show she was doing the students a favor by not showing up at school...

She was probably already earning well into six figures, I would expect.

40K you go to jail. 40 million you send other people to jail.

I was a swing shift supervisor at a very, very busy Safeway Grocery Store. We had to count all the cashier drawers, balance out everything, and prepare the late-night bank deposit. Some nights were $60,000 cash, and even more checks. Our hands were dirty after counting all the cash, but I just didn’t think of it as money. At night, we would deposit it in one of those on-the-outside-wall of the bank . One night, as I opened up the slot, the previous person had not shoved their deposit all the way inside. I could have easily retrieved it and obtained my own reparations for all the Irish Catholic indentured slaves, but I did not.

I’d rather live with a conscience and sleep well at night, then be a soulless democRAT.

I worked at a gas station in the late 70’s while in high school. We dealt in a lot of cash. We would balance the books at the end of the night and put the cash in the floor safe. My boss, the owner trusted us because all of it was accounted for. Had I done differently, he would have fired me and my dad would have kicked my ass.

God bless you. I've had similar thoughts many times when I hear the whining about reparations. My Irish forebearers were laborers that helped build the Northeast corridor rail system and lived in near-poverty when old and crippled up. I'm part English, so I guess I'd have to write my Irish half a check.
