MASON COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The former vice president of the Mason County School Board faces up to 10 years behind bars.

In a hearing on Tuesday in Point Pleasant, Teresa Warner made a plea deal, pleading guilty to one count of bribery in official and political matters. That is a felony.

As part of the deal, five other felony bribery charges were dropped.

She was arrested in July 2010, charged with giving GED's to people who do not earn them, in exchange for money. Investigators say she made more than $1,000 in the scheme.

The incidents happened between 2002 and 2010.

She faces one to 10 years behind bars when she is sentenced in June.

Warner stepped down from her school board position after being arrested for DUI in January of this year.

According to the magistrate court in Mason County, Warner pleaded guilty to the DUI charge earlier this month and was fined $300.

Last month, a Mason County Grand Jury returned a six-count felony indictment of bribery in official and political matters against Teresa Warner.

During Friday’s arraignment in Mason County Circuit Court, Warner pleaded not guilty to the charges. She is set to return to court on June 25 for a pre-trial hearing. Her trial is set for August 13.

In July 2010, West Virginia State Police arrested and charged Warner with one count of fraudulent schemes. The charges involve her allegedly selling GEDs to a number of Mason County residents.

According to the criminal compliant, investigators said that between 2002 and 2010 Warner received more than $1,000 in exchange for a passing grade on GED tests which caused fraudulent GED diplomas to be issued.

During that time, Warner was authorized to conduct GED tests and teach GED tests in Mason County, according to the complaint.

The complaint also says Warner made arrangements with another GED examiner to fraudulently issue passing grades by requesting that examiner complete the answer sheets for the person taking the test.

Warner resigned from the school board last month after being arrested on an unrelated DUI charge.

The Mason County School Board chose former member Matt Thompson to replace Warner.

Thompson served on the school board for eight years, from 2002-2010.

He will serve until a permanent replacement is elected in May.
