Former Grand Prairie ISD chief accused of using armored trucks to steal $600,000 from district

The former chief financial officer of the Grand Prairie School District used armored trucks to help her steal more than half a million dollars from the district, according a federal grand jury indictment.

Carolyn Foster, 61, of Lewisville was arrested Monday by U.S. Secret Service agents and charged with one count of federal program theft after $600,000 was declared missing from district coffers,
Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Wiley said.

Foster was arrested at the Richardson office of her current job at International Leadership of Texas, a charter school with several campuses in Dallas-Fort Worth. She pleaded not guilty in her initial court appearance Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge David L. Horan and was released on bond.

She faces up to 10 years in prison, plus a $250,000 fine if convicted.
