NORTHVILLE, MI – A former Michigan school administrator has pleaded guilty to obstructing a federal grand jury investigation.
Deanna Barash, 46, of Auburn Hills, faces a maximum sentence of ten years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
Barash, then the Assistant Superintendent of Northville Public Schools, approved a contract for NPS to purchase educational materials from a third-party without disclosing to NPS that she had a financial relationship with the party.
After Barash left NPS, school officials learned about the contract and made Barash aware that they were reporting her actions to authorities. Barash then deleted certain emails between herself and the third-party from her private email account.
