[News] Ohio Woman Jailed for Sending her Kids to a Better School!
This story is from a little while ago but I had to post it still. This is f-cking outrageous:
“If you lived in a crime-ridden neighborhood where your home was broken into a dozen times and the school your children were zoned to was low-performing, wouldn’t you take drastic measures to ensure they got a quality education?
That’s exactly what Kelley Williams-Bolar did, pulling her 12- and 16-year-old daughters out of the decrepit school they attended in Akron, Ohio, and enrolling them in a suburban district where her father lived.
Williams-Bolar used her father’s address, where she alleges she lived part-time. Yet the Copely-Fairlawn School District felt she was lying about being a resident, and hired a private eye to follow her, videotaping Williams-Bolar leaving her public housing home and dropping her children off at the suburban school.
They confronted Williams-Bolar, demanded that she repay the district $30,000, saying she didn’t have the right to have her daughters in the district since she wasn’t a taxpayer.
When she refused, Williams-Bolar was indicted on two felony charges, found guilty and sentenced to 10 days in prison. Because of the felonies on her record, the aspiring schoolteacher will never be able to enter the classroom.”
