I've just looked it up to get more particulars. Williams-Bolar lied on documents to defraud the district of Copley-Fairlawn out of the $30,000 tuition she would otherwise have to pay to send her kids to that school. The school is funded by taxes paid by residents of that location while she lives and pays taxes in Akron. In public housing.
It's a misrepresentation to claim she was penalised for sending her kids to a better school. She was penalised for attempting to defraud a district. Now I think that jail time is probably disproportionate and the fact that she will probably lose her job is not going to do anything for anyone, but that's a fault of the US justice system and not of the verdict itself.

Is this a state or US law or something (district BS)
Surely parents should be allowed to send their children to which ever school they see fit. Unless of course its a full on stupid decision.

She got jailed over some bull**** really. She lives in whatever ghetto where she can afford, she tried to get her kids a better education at a better school, she got found out, and they put her and her kids back in her place.

Assuming it's a public school (since I've never heard of private schools being separated by district), how is there a 30K tuition, if it's public? I was under the assumption that public school is paid by state and local taxpayers, so there is no such 30K tuition for each child.

She lied and attempted to send her kid to a school that she wasnt zoned to
I know plenty of people that have done the same
Its a better school yea, but she is taking the spot of someone that legally deserves to be there
Dont make her out to be some sort of saint. Theres ways to get your kid into a good school, legal ways
