Brand used a school district employee's account without their knowledge to falsify records sent to the Mississippi Department of Education. State Auditor Shad White emphasized the harmful and misleading effects of falsifying education data and attendance records, stating that it costs taxpayers money. It remains unclear if Brand will be sentenced to time in prison.
