Federal prosecutors allege Naia Wilson used the money for trips in 2016 and 2018.

Wilson allegedly requested that the external fiscal agent issue checks to other people and then converted that money to pay for the all-inclusive hotel and the airfare. Wilson also fraudulently endorsed the checks used to pay for the 2018 trip, authorities said.

Boston Division FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Christopher DiMenna said Wilson's story is a reminder to state workers that there are "serious consequences" for "shameful conduct." "Instead of working honestly on behalf of her students, Naia Wilson is accused of abusing her authority and usingas her own personal slush fund to embezzle tens of thousands of dollars to fund two all-inclusive vacations to Barbados for herself and her friends," DiMenna said.

A wire fraud charge could result in a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000. Authorities did not say when Wilson's next court appearance will be.
