Bridget Coates, 49, of Falls Church, pleaded guilty in April to one count of wire fraud after stealing funds from 2012 until she resigned in 2018 as principal of St.
Thomas More Catholic School in Southeast Washington.
more than $19,463 on goods by luxury fashion designers such as Louis Vuitton, Karen Millen, Kate Spade and Michael Kors, prosecutors said.Coates gave herself another $85,000 that may have gone to school-related expenses that prosecutors did not count against her at sentencing, and the school has filed a $260,000 insurance claim, according to sentencing papers.
Coates established a high school placement test preparation class on Saturdays, taught classes when teacher staffs were short and was president-elect of a Catholic school elementary principals committee when she resigned, supporters said. She started extracurricular programs, including a choir that was asked to perform by leaders of Congress, and was invited with students to attend President Barack Obama’s 2016 State of the Union address, supporters said.
