Former Baltimore County School Superintendent Dallas Dance is asking a judge to give him probation rather than jail time for failing to disclose nearly $147,000 he earned from part-time consulting jobs.
In a sentencing memo filed by his attorneys, Dance is portrayed as taking responsibility for his behavior, as well as having “deep regret and repentance.”
Dance pleaded guilty to four counts of perjury last month for not being honest in filling out his annual financial disclosure reports. He did not disclose that he worked for outside companies and organizations, including a company that was awarded a no-bid contract with the school system.
He is scheduled to be sentenced Friday, his 37th birthday.
...By 2011, Dance was in charge of the middle schools in Houston, and was in a SUPES Academy training program to prepare him to become a superintendent, the memo said. Those training programs were taught by superintendents, which included Chicago’s Barbara Byrd-Bennett and Baltimore County’s Joe Hairston. Byrd-Bennett would later be convicted of wire fraud for steering contracts to SUPES Academy in exchange for a promise of $2.3 million in kickbacks. She and two SUPES officials are now in prison.
