Former Beverly Hills Unified School District superintendent Jeffrey Hubbard will stand trial for misappropriation of funds, for giving illegal “stipends” to his girl friend and co-defendant Karen Anne Christiansen, former director of facilities for the district. Christiansen also used her role as a consultant with the district to obtain contracts for her private company worth more than $2.2 million.

Hubbard is currently superintendant of Newport-Mesa Unified School District. The Newport-Mesa school board placed him on paid administrative leave on Monday.
