Former Baltimore County Schools Superintendent Begins Prison Sentence

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Former Baltimore County Schools Superintendent Dallas Dance has begun his jail sentence for perjury.

Dance received a 6-month sentence after pleading guilty to four counts of perjury after failing to report nearly $150,000 in outside income on his financial disclosures. The discrepancies are on his 2012, 2013, and 2015 Financial Disclosure Statements that were filed under oath.

The former superintendent is serving the sentence at Henrico County Jail in Virginia after a judge signed an order modifying the location of his incarceration so he could be closer to his family.

The Baltimore County School Board voted in Verletta White as the permanent superintendent earlier this month.
