ATLANTA (AP) — The superintendent of Georgia's third-largest school district has been indicted on federal charges alleging he ran a kickback scheme and stole money from his previous employer, a smaller school district in suburban Chicago.
A federal grand jury in Chicago on Wednesday indicted Devon Horton, currently superintendent of the 93,000-student DeKalb County school district, on 17 counts including wire fraud, embezzlement and tax evasion. The indictment alleges the 48-year-old Horton issued more than $280,000 in contracts to three friends and received more than $80,000 in kickbacks from 2020 through 2023 while he was superintendent of...grades K-8 last year.
Indicted along with Horton were three other men who prosecutors allege were part of the scheme: Antonio Ross, 48, of Chicago; Samuel Ross, 46 of Berwyn, Illinois; and Alfonzo Lewis, 48, of Chicago.
A lawyer for Horton, Terry Campbell, said in a statement that Horton “is eager to address his case in court.” He added that the allegations “relate to conduct that is several years old and have nothing whatsoever to do with his very successful work on behalf of the students, families, and teachers in DeKalb County," citing improved attendance rates, graduation rates and academic achievement in the Georgia district.
The indictment alleges that the four men created companies and billed for services they didn't provide in order to bilk money from the Evanston-Skokie and Chicago school districts.

Yup, it’s them again...
Does anyone doubt that the American taxpayer have been paying reparations to black people for the last couple of decades.?
Sorry to say it but it’s true.
Yes. Post & information BUMP. HOORAY federal grand jury!
I’m sure he has an EdD degree, just like Des Moines and Francis Howell.
I used to work for a man who sold custom air handlers to schools through Illinois CDB. Most of the selling was done at national conventions by getting school board members and supes drunk, high and laid. That whole world is corrupt.
Reparations huh ?.
Oh I’m sure he’s super qualified AND corrupt!
Why else would it seem the majority of big dem city police chiefs are black women? Reparations to make whitey pay, obviously.
Fringe benefits, I thought this was a perk , I finally got a piece of the pie.
reparations have been going on since affirmative action began
Has to get those suits and jewellery someplace
DeKalb, that figures
“This drip ain’t free. I gotta get mine”
There be pots of gold under the DEI schools rainbow. Money just sitting there. Waiting to be ripped off DEI style.
Did Trump kill off the Department of Education or greatly reduce the grift funding there?
Answer is that so far, Trump is trying to cut them back 15% in the 2026 budget.
It’s always them Booboo.
LOL.
And governors
