Ashley Beard pleaded guilty to one wire fraud count Thursday. She was first charged as part of a larger fraud investigation involving former Brennemann Elementary School Principal Sarah Jackson Abedelal.
Sarah Jackson Abedelal pleaded guilty to wire fraud Thursday before U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, according to U.S. Attorney’s office spokesman Joe Fitzpatrick.
The former principal of a North Side elementary school admitted Thursday to her role in a pair of fraud schemes that prosecutors say cost the Chicago Public Schools hundreds of thousands of dollars.
