She spaced out. The longtime principal of a high-achieving Florida
charter school stepped down Tuesday night after she sent $100,000 in school funds to an internet scammer posing as billionaire Elon Musk.
Jan McGee, who had led Burns Science and Technology Charter School since its 2011 inception, said someone claiming to be the tech mogul offered to invest millions into the popular STEM school in exchange for an upfront payment.
The school’s skeptical business manager eventually learned of the arrangement and managed to cancel the transaction before the mone. But the controversy roiled parents and board members, who insisted that McGee was inexplicably reckless with crucial school funds.
Several speakers at Tuesday night’s meeting stressed that McGee’s colleagues told her that she was being swindled, but that she ignored them and insisted on sending out the payment.
After angry board members said they could no longer work under her and threatened to quit, McGee resigned on the spot and left the school building, to cheers from the audience.
Just a side note - you may notice that I pull from the New York Post often. There's a simple reason. Even though the stories are available from a variety of sources, I find their online format more suitable to maneuver and more visually pleasing and compatible to our format. That's the only reason, really, and I always make sure to credit the sources wherever I find them. Juss' sayin'...

She would not be in any trouble if she would have transferred the money to the DNC, the country's BIGGEST scammer.
