Important information
- Pending Government Action:The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the government's allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On January 25, 2018, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced an indictment returned by the federal grand jury the prior month in the Northern District of Texas against Donna H. Woods, the Chief Executive Officer of Nova Charter School (Nova), and Donatus I. Anyanwu, the owner of ADI Engineering, Inc. (ADI).
According to the indictment, Woods and Anyanwu devised a scheme to defraud the Federal Communications Commission's "E-Rate" program, which helps schools and libraries in the United States obtain affordable telecommunications and internet access. The indictment contends that Woods used her position at Nova to select ADI as Nova's E-Rate service provider, a bid worth about $478,000 and received a kickback of at least $5,000 from Anyanwu. The indictment further alleges that Woods and Anyanwu perpetuated the fraud by falsifying forms indicating that Nova had complied with E-Rate program rules and that no kickbacks were paid. Over the course of the scheme, ADI was paid approximately $337,951.06 in E-Rate discount funds that it was not entitled to
receive.
Woods is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, and three counts of wire fraud. Anyanwu is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, one count of mail fraud, and two counts of wire fraud.
The trial is set for March 5, 2018.
