POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. (AP) – A former teacher who is a member of the Mason County school board has been indicted on bribery charges.
The Charleston Gazette reports that Teresa L. Warner has been charged with six counts of bribery in official and political matters.
In 2010, Warner was arrested for fraudulent schemes after she allegedly sold GEDs to residents from 2002 to 2010.
Warner was serving as vice president of the Mason County school board when she was arrested. She never resigned.
According to the complaint, Warner is accused of receiving more than $1,000 in exchange for passing grades on GED tests.
During that period, Warner was employed at Lakin Correctional Facility, where she taught adult basic education classes at the facility.
State Police do not believe she sold any degrees to inmates.
