Former Duval Teachers United President Teresa “Terrie” Brady pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in connection with a fraud scheme that investigators say stole more than $1.2 million from the union over nearly a decade.

Ruby George, 81, former executive vice president of Duval Teachers United, pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy and fraud charges related to a scheme that stole more than $1.2 million from the union over nearly a decade.

The former president and executive vice president of Duval Teachers United, accused of conspiring to steal more than $2.5 million from the union, were set to appear in federal court Friday morning.

One day after the former president of Duval Teachers United was indicted and accused of conspiring to steal over $1 million, a high-profile attorney has provided a statement claiming she “accurately reported her compensation” to the federal government.

Terrie Brady, along with former DTU Vice President Ruby George, 81, have been accused of conspiring to steal more than $1.2 million each between 2013 and 2022.

Terrie Brady has served as the president of the teacher union that represents teachers and staff in Duval County Public Schools for over 20 years.

In its policy handbook, the hiring of a superintendent is described as “the most important and fundamental responsibility of the Duval County School Board.”
