LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Oldham County school officials said a Louisville father sent his son to Oldham County schools while he and his son lived in Jefferson County. Charles Lauron, 51, is listed as living at a home in Lyndon. According to a criminal summons, Lauron claimed his son lived at a house in Goshen while he attended school in Oldham County for the past eight years.
Lauron faces a criminal charge of theft by deception, which carries up to 10 years in jail if he’s convicted, and a bill for more than $20,000.
The case is the first of its kind in Kentucky.
"We felt like this case was egregious. We felt like we had enough evidence to go forward and it could dissuade other families, if they're doing the same thing or considering doing the same thing,” said Oldham County Schools attorney Anne Coorssen.

No charges if an Illegal Alien.
He must be citizen or a legal alien.
that’s actually pretty typical of politicians to rent an apartment in their district while living in another.
Why, that's just racist talk < /s>.
I guess our laws only apply to citizens; Illegal aliens are above the law, above reproach and apparently deserve every dime we earn.
... but children of illegals can attend without any concern for verification of their residency or national origin ...
And, they might even qualify for reduced college tuition and financial aid.

lol!
Why do they care?
Do they allege the kid got a better public education than he was entitled to?
A government entity is prosecuting a peasant for "theft by deception"?!??!!?
Adjacent counties.. The schools in Oldham are far, far better than the ones in Jefferson county.
