Federal court officials have scheduled sentencing in November for former St. Joseph School District Superintendent and board president Dan Colgan.

Dr. Colgan pleaded guilty in June to one count of wire fraud, admitting he caused others to overstate his salary in reports to the Public School Retirement System.

As a result, prosecutors say Colgan was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in excess pension benefits.

Under terms of the plea agreement, Colgan, 70, will be sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison, and must pay more than $660,000 in restitution.

Sentencing is scheduled before U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple on November 10 at 9am.
