Thirteen former and current Detroit Public School principals charged with a felony in a $2.7 million kickback and bribery scheme at the district remain eligible for their state pension.
No known court order has been requested to revoke the state-funded pensions of 13 administrators who face federal charges or accepted plea agreements in connection with a scheme uncovered by an FBI investigation into the financially beleaguered district.
Gina Balaya, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said the federal government is seeking full restitution from all 14 defendants in the case, including school supplies vendor Norman Shy who is accused of paying $908,518 in exchange for $5 million in business with his company Allstate Sales and has pleaded guilty in the case.
The scheme deprived DPS students of more than $2.7 million in resources, officials said.
