A teacher at Pembroke Meadows Elementary School has been indicted on four counts of falsely obtaining welfare assistance of more than $200 and seven counts of making a false application for welfare.
A grand jury returned the 11 felony indictments against Whitney Wheeler O. Gray, 48, on Aug. 2. The alleged offenses ranged from May 1, 2007, through May 28, 2010.
Gray has been employed by Virginia Beach City Public Schools since August 2006. Her salary was $40,263 last year.
Returning teachers report to school Aug. 30. If Gray appears, she will be placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of her case, said spokeswoman Nancy Soscia.
Gray was arrested at home Wednesday in the 2200 block of Wolf St. in Virginia Beach but has been released.
An undated message on Gray's school website welcomes students back from summer break.
"I am looking forward to another great year at PMES," she wrote.
A hearing is scheduled for Monday for the purpose of assigning an attorney to the case.
