You have to pay an 800 dollar per month tuition. I'm guessing that tuition is "per child". So, technically, this mom was stealing 1600 per month from said school/district. <br />BTW She isn't the first to be charged with a felony for doing this. She's probably just the first to go to court. <br />Here's another link for another felony charge, for a different mom, in a different state.<br /><br />http://www.dailyfreeman.com/articles/2010/11/08/blotter/doc4cd82f39617f0533974726.txtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988323189898113183.post-22901275800668164852011-01-26T18:32:34.941-08:002011-01-26T18:32:34.941-08:00Thanks for the update, Anon.

It would be really interesting to know their race and class and the details of their "proof." Many no doubt were legal residents of that district. However, all over the country, privileged parents engage in scams and deceptions to get their kids in the better schools.<br /><br /> Also, the school district paid a private dick $6000 to spy on Williams-Bolar, something they probably did not do for the 96 who "proved their innocence.<br /><br />Lastly, there is no such thing as tuition for public school. If a person lives in the district, they simply go to the school. Most districts do not have an "out of district" tuition. Maybe this one does. I couldn't find this info when I researched it. Nevertheless, if you don't own property you contribute little or nothing to your local district, but can still go. Funding comes from property taxes, with the state and feds kicking in a little extra. This notion of paying back the "stolen tuition is essentially extortion: Pay us or go to jail.Anonimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040156020859417287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988323189898113183.post-43984899494520247232011-01-26T10:48:44.852-08:002011-01-26T10:48:44.852-08:00That article doesn't give all the info.

The rest either proved they lived in the district or admitted they did wrong. Nothing happened to any of them. Kelly Williams-Bolar refused to admit to wrong doing and continued to "try" and defraud the school district. That's why she got convicted of a felony and was sent to jail. Had she admitted to wrong doing.... She'd be at home with her children and "nothing" would have happened to her. <br /><br />Here's a news video http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/mom-jailed-for-sending-kids-to-better-school-12766049Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988323189898113183.post-50184865256677780942011-01-26T06:55:52.161-08:002011-01-26T06:55:52.161-08:00I hope some good attorney takes this to the suprem...I hope some good attorney takes this to the supreme court! Coming from a state that has open enrollment - what is the crime in wanting something better for your children? It certainly should not destroy a future and prevent someone from becoming a teacher! Obviously this woman values a good educator and likely would be terrific in the classroom! Ohio law need to be changed retro-actively.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988323189898113183.post-22436579460347798132011-01-25T19:49:24.271-08:002011-01-25T19:49:24.271-08:00Speechless - hard to find a more clear example of ...Speechless - hard to find a more clear example of schools and courts acting as mechanisms of social control.james boutinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625944306253098621noreply@blogger.com
