As teachers fight to receive their earned income, former top administrator will be in court for allegations of stealing from the Detroit Public Schools.
This is part of the kick-back scandal uncovered by the feds.
The former assistant superintendent of specialized student services, we've learned, was making a $126,000 salary.
On top of that, the feds say the former admin took more than $324,000 in bribe money.
Clara Flowers retired from one of the district's top positions in April.
The 61-year-old is accused of taking the most amount of money in this entire scandal.
Federal investigators say DPS lost millions of dollars as a school supply vendor over charged schools, pocketed the money, then paid 12 educators to turn a blind eye.
We learned Flowers is accused of creating a travel agency in order to handle that kickback money.
Last week, another defendant, Clara Smith, a former principal, accepted the first plea deal in this case.
Flowers is expected to follow suit and accept a plea deal.
She is also charged with tax evasion.
That school supply vendor, Norman Shy, is also expected to plead guilty this month.
