Two staffers at a Central Coast charter school have been arrested after allegedly embezzling nearly $300,000 from school funds.

The International School of Monterey in Seaside were alerted to the illegal activity after Terry Bumper, the school’s former food services director, placed a suspiciously large Costco order for eggs, bacon, and potatoes.

A school administrator flagged the exorbitant shopping spree, which led Seaside Police to uncover that Bumper, 42, had embezzled $58,800 from the school by ordering products he used in his personal catering business, Flava 2 You, which he launched in 2023.
