A former East Aurora School District 131 board president faces federal charges connected to an alleged $1.3 million kickback scheme, according to federal prosecutors cited on AM 560 radio Monday.
Prosecutors allege the scheme centered on a $2.7 million district purchase of air purifiers steered to a company with ties to the former board president’s boyfriend, according to the report. The report did not name the former board president.
East Aurora School District 131 serves students in Aurora, a city in Kane County.
The report did not specify the charges filed, the date of the alleged conduct, or the scheduled court appearance.
The allegations are unproven, and the former board president has not been convicted of any crime. District 131 has not issued a public statement on the case. Additional details on the court proceedings were not available Monday.
