Former CFO for Scottsdale Unified School District indicted

PHOENIX (AP) - A state grand jury has indicted the former chief financial officer for the Scottsdale Unified School District for allegedly breaking Arizona's conflict of interest laws.

The state Attorney General's Office says 61-year-old Laura Tenison Smith is facing two felony counts of fraudulent schemes and practices and nine felony counts of conflict of interest.

She's accused of approving purchase orders and change orders between February and October of 2017 for Professional Group Public Consulting Inc., a company Smith and her sister had ownership interests in.

Smith resigned in January after she was placed on leave.
