Fred Rosetti, Ed.D., spent 20 years working at the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit.
He will spend 33 months working at a federal prison camp in Central Pennsylvania, his attorney said Monday.
On Thursday, Dr. Rosetti is expected to report to the prison camp at the United States Penitentiary in Lewisburg - 103 miles from his Archbald home.
At the facility for minimum-security offenders, adjacent to the high-security penitentiary, Dr. Rosetti will be assigned a job, have a 5:45 a.m. wake-up call and have access to recreational activities, such as guitar lessons, yoga and softball.
Dr. Rosetti was sentenced last month to 33 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to mail fraud and theft charges. He admitted to using his position to steal taxpayer money by intentionally failing to record sick and vacation days, creating false travel vouchers and ordering employees to do personal tasks for him. Along with the prison time, he must pay $137,944 in restitution to the NEIU and a fine of $30,200, U.S. District Judge Robert D. Mariani ordered. The 33-month sentence was the top of the sentencing range under federal guidelines.
At the sentencing, Dr. Rosetti's attorneys asked that he be assigned to a location close enough so that his family could visit easily. Dr. Rosetti has relatives who work at United States Penitentiary at Canaan, so Lewisburg is the next closest place he could be housed, attorney William DeStefano said.
Since his sentencing last month, Dr. Rosetti has worked to get his affairs in order, his attorney said.
"I think his general feeling is to start as soon as possible, and therefore it will end as soon as possible," Mr. DeStefano said.
