You’ll Stick With Your Crappy School, and You’ll Like It | The Agitator

Shakespeare could not have written a better tragedy. A mother trying to get a better education for her child uses the child's grandfathers address to send him to another school.

You’ll Stick With Your Crappy School, and You’ll Like It | The Agitator: "Williams-Bolar was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison earlier this month, although Judge Patricia Cosgrove suspended all but ten days of the sentence."
Is it fraud? Definitely, but like most crime its a gray area because the grandfather is paying school taxes and is otherwise not getting any direct benefit from his taxes. Because of an over-zealous prosecutor the mother not only has a criminal record, but is also facing the loss of a career because of that record. All because she wanted something better for her child.
