The principal of a high-performing Florida school has resigned after she was scammed into writing a $100,000 check directly from school funds to an internet con artist posing as a close partner of Elon Musk.
Dr Jan McGee was the principal of Burns Science and Technology Charter in Oak Hill, a well-regarded charter school in Volusia County.
She had been working at the school since its inception guiding it to an A rating with a huge waiting list and had been trying to get Musk to notice her for some time.
