Convicted Beaumont ISD admins slow to make restitution
In the nearly 18 months since Patricia Lambert was convicted of stealing from Beaumont ISD, the former administrator has paid less than $8,000 of the $500,000 restitution she owes the district, according to federal court documents filed Thursday.
Lambert, a former BISD assistant superintendent, was sentenced in June 2016 to more than three years in federal prison for stealing half a million dollars from the Central High School booster club and student activities funds.
She paid $50 in restitution the first year of her sentence, according to a motion filed in June 2017 by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Wells.
The court issued orders in April and again in June this year to take money from Lambert's retirement disbursements to pay the district back. According to documents filed by the Acting U.S. Attorney on Thursday, $7.697.72 has been collected in 2017.
