After a stint in federal prison for reportedly embezzling millions from the charter schools he founded, an Albuquerque man is out. As it turns out, he is once again working as an educator.
Scott Glasrud is a name many might remember, especially in Albuquerque’s education community. In 2014, Glasrud was investigated for stealing millions of dollars from a group of charter schools he started known as the Southwest Learning Center. He worked for these schools as an administrator.
Glasrud was sentenced to five years in federal prison back in 2018 and was ordered to pay $3 million in restitution to the Public Education Department and the Southwest Learning Center. With two years time served, Glasrud was out of prison this past January.
