[District Attorney] – Valencia High School’s former head baseball coach pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges that he embezzled between $10,000 and $15,000 from the school and a booster club over a six-year period, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.
Jared Scott Snyder (dob 3/8/70) is scheduled to return on March 6 to the Foltz Criminal Justice Center, Department 50, in case BA432673. He was released on his own recognizance. The Public Integrity Division is handling the case.
While serving as varsity baseball coach, Snyder allegedly submitted fraudulent reimbursement forms to Valencia High School. He also was in charge of the team’s parent-funded booster club account and is accused of paying for personal credit card expenses from that fund. The complaint alleges the crimes occurred between April 2008 and February 2014.
The William S. Hart Unified School District conducted an audit in 2014 after receiving a complaint of financial irregularities in the baseball program. The audit was turned over to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
He is charged with one count each of misappropriation, embezzlement by a public officer, embezzlement by a private officer, and four counts of grand theft.
If convicted, Snyder faces up to six years, eight months in state prison.
The case remains under investigation by the Sheriff’s Department.

Such a low life scum bag!!!
Mr. Snyder,
I hope you end up seeing this. You were one of the best history teachers I ever had. You waited for me because my previous class was on the opposite end of the campus and was always pushing me to be college ready. You believed in me and pushed me to try harder in school then I ever had before and encouraged my creativity. You were tough but it was because you believed in me. Thank you for encouraging me to be the best I can be. I am now months away from getting my Masters and I never would have gotten there without that push from teachers like you. I am sorry to see you in a tough spot such as this but I hope and pray for you all the time. Thank you for being a teacher who cared about their students. It really did make a world of difference. Don’t give up on us
