The school district grew suspicious enough about the Williams-Bolar kids to, apparently, hire a private detective, who filmed Williams-Bolar dropping her children off at a bus stop near her parents' house. (This seems like a fantastic use of school district money.) Officials confronted her. The school district superintendent, Brian Poe, says that such cases (apparently there are something like 15-20 a year) are usually resolved without going to trial.

I know it's technically fraud but jailtime?
 
Punish her and ruin her chances of becoming a teacher because she was trying to protect and better her daughters educations. Real nice.
 
I don't understand how this is not getting more air time. If they could get this out to the national media, maybe she could get better lawyers. Also, why can't she just switch it to say that they live with their grandfather? I know tons of people that did that so they could stay in the better districts in my city.

And WHO THE FUCK HIRES A PI TO SPY ON A PARENTS AND HER CHILDREN? Wow im salty right now. Fuck you school district. I hope you paid for that PI out of the principal/superintendents money. Fuck.
 
this goes on a lot, I can't blame her for what she did and she shouldn't get jail time or a felony for it.

Williams-Bolar, a single mother, works as a teaching assistant with children with special needs at Buchtel High School. At the trial, she testified that she wanted to become a teacher and is a senior at the University of Akron, only a few credit hours short of a teaching degree.

That won't happen now, Cosgrove said.

''Because of the felony conviction, you will not be allowed to get your teaching degree under Ohio law as it stands today,'' the judge said. ''The court's taking into consideration that is also a punishment that you will have to serve.''

The Rev. Lorenzo Glenn of Macedonia Baptist Church also pleaded for leniency, saying his church has a mentoring program well suited for probation in lieu of prison time.

According to court testimony, there were 30 to 40 similar residency cases involving other families from August 2006 to June 2008, when Williams-Bolar's children were enrolled in Copley schools.

Williams-Bolar was the only parent prosecuted, according to testimony.

She cheated to get her children a leg up, at the expense of others. Sending kids to a different district is not a real solution. The other 'good' schools can only absorb so many more students. Ultimately, the only workable solution is more good schools.

She shouldn't be commended for this. But, that said, it she deserves nothing more serious than a scolding.

any mom that goes well out of there way to get their kids into a better public school deserves to have her kids let in there.

with a good school, and a mom like that you know itll work out.

besides, i doubt there isnt one extra damn chair in that school
 
Very heated right now. The fact that she's the only one thats been prosecuted and how cold the judge is AND the fact that she is actively working to have a better life is making me sick right now.

The gaiety derived from your post exceeded my self-control tolerances, good sir! You are to be applauded for your efforts!

Go live in a bad neighborhood and go to school there, come back with your apology.

Their grandfather lives in that district and pays taxes there. Why should his grandkids be barred?
 
I wonder how the district "resolved" those 40 some cases in the past? Was there money exchanged and children forced out of the district? Did this poor woman get bad advice from her lawyer to go to court because the jury would never rule against her?


So many questions ...
 
I would think that someone working in the public school system would know that there may be consequences for doing something like this...sucks...

She tried to plead down to a lesser charge:

"the state would not move, would not budge, and offer Ms. Williams-Bolar to plead to a misdemeanor," despite several pretrial hearings.

Jesus fucking Christ, this woman deserves to be mom of the year, God damn her for trying to give her kids a good shot at the future and the possibilities that comes with it.

The whole school board needs to be removed
 
Do we know what school and what school district is this? So people can write angry letter expressing their rage?

What the hell were they thinking?

She should have moved in with the grandfather then and establish residence. I hate people who pull this crap. It's the reason for severe overcrowding in Philadelphia schools. When it's 200-300 kids a school it's a big deal and I can say that does happen.

According to my link I posted:

After not being able to resolve claims with Williams-Bolar, the district took the extraordinary measure of taking her to court where she was convicted on two counts of tampering with records.

Obviously, the district confronted her with the evidence and there must have been some demands she wouldn't make and then they felt "forced" to take her to court. I am just curious to what the school district demands when they catch you committing fraud.
 
wow... so basically she registered a false (?) address so her children would be assign to that district's school?

what the fuck america, this doesn't deserve jail time. is it final?

edit:
not false address, the grandfather lives there...

if the other schools are so shitty that the parents see their kids doing better in an overcrowded school then i just cant blame them.

sure, the ultimate solution to this is a shitload of good schools but thats just not gunna happen anytime soon in the US. and that isnt a solution that parents themselves can enact.
