The Unionville resident and mother accepted a plea deal in late August that reduced the original felony charge against her to a misdemeanor.

In court documents obtained by The Daily Progress, Boyd admits, “The evidence is sufficient to find me guilty.”

As part of her plea agreement, Boyd received a 30-day suspended sentence, conditioned on 12 months of good behavior and payment of $1,119 in restitution to Orange County Public Schools.

Boyd was hired by the school division in March 2023, according to Yvonne Dawson, executive director of human resources.

On Oct. 3 of last year, Boyd was the subject of a Virginia State Police “Critically Missing Adult Alert.” State police asked anyone who encountered someone matching Boyd’s description to contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

At the time of the alert, police said Boyd was last seen about 90 minutes after midnight on Zachary Taylor Highway around Unionville, east of the city of Orange. Later that day, Virginia State Police reported that Boyd had been found safe.

In April of this year, Boyd was arrested and charged with felony embezzlement over $1,000. In August, Boyd was arraigned on a felony charge of embezzlement under $1,000 and pleaded guilty the same day. Court documents make it clear, however, that Boyd admitted to misappropriating the entire $1,119.

If convicted of the crime, Boyd could have served up to 20 years in prison and had to pay a $2,500 fine plus restitution.

Born Anderson, Boyd’s most recent married name is Norder, which is the name she uses on a LinkedIn profile, which lists her work as a bookkeeper at Orange County High School.

“I love the environment, the hours, the benefits, and there’s nothing better than the time it gives me to spend with my kids,” the George Mason University student wrote about the accounting job at the site.

Boyd held a similar job at Keswick School, a therapeutic special education boarding school in Albemarle County, formerly known as Little Keswick School. Prior to that position, according to her LinkedIn profile, Boyd was the financial controller for the Autism Institute of Virginia in Albemarle County.

Until recently, Boyd had no criminal record in the Virginia community.
