The former board president of the Stockton Unified School District has been arrested last week following an investigation into the theft of public funds and insurance fraud, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office said.
AngelAnn Flores is accused of theft of public funds by allegedly using her school board credit card to purchase fuel and food for personal gain, grand theft exceeding $950 and embezzlement by a public official through the use of her credit card.
Flores is also accused of insurance fraud for allegedly filing a false insurance claim due to a non-SUSD-related vehicle accident.
The San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office said Friday it had filed a criminal complaint in the Superior Court.
Bail was set at $175,000 with arraignment expected early next week.
A search warrant was executed last year at Flores’s residence and portions of the district office.
The search followed an announcement in April 2023 by San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas that his office was investigating SUSD over possible fraud that came to light in a state audit.
The investigation came after two grand jury reports and an “extraordinary audit” by the state’s Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team.
An “extraordinary audit” is a comprehensive examination of the fiscal issues of the school district.
