Longtime public schools official Priscilla Rocha will remain released on her own recognizance until her April 2015 trial on 50 felony counts related to $289,000 in alleged thefts from the Clark County School District, decided a district court judge Wednesday.
Former Clark County schools official Priscilla Rocha and four co-defendants facing theft charges for taking $289,000 in public funds from the School District remain free despite a prosecutor’s assertion Monday that they are a “flight risk.”
Priscilla Rocha sneaked nearly $14,000 worth of computers and electronic equipment — bought with Clark County School District money — across the Mexican border without a customs inspection, according to grand jury transcripts obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
A former Clark County School District official was among five people indicted by a grand jury Friday in the theft of $289,000 in public funds from the district’s Adult English Language Services Acquisition program.
