Arkansas has some type of law that allows parents to do this. I know many who send their children to a different district than where they live. I am not sure what all in involved but the State allows it to be done legally.
I believe, if this is the same story I read last week, she registered her kids at her dad’s address. So he was paying taxes for her kids to go to school. So it’s not like she stole the money. A family member paid for it and a family member used it.
Summit County Ohio Copley is just south of Montrose.
There’s an interesting comment/article about this story on Theroot.com.............check it out.
Then your parents are crooks.
Good point - She said she lived with her father part time so she claimed his address as HER address. While it’s not honest, you’re right - he was still paying the taxes, I assume. And if that was the case, she should have played that card. She went to court - why didn’t her representation bring that up?
$30,000? Are you kidding me? Her dad lived in the district and he did pay taxes. We need school vouchers.
If the father paid property taxes into the system and didn't use the services since he had no kids going to school, why the fuss? If the school the girls would've gone to was a wreck, with crime, gangs, etc., then the mom was perfectly justified in doing what she did. And how much money did the school district spend to investigate her? The district, after all, got monies from the gvt. for the Average Daily Attendance, and the girls were part of that. And that idiot judge? Please. Kids of illegals fleece our system and drag down our resources far more than a woman, a citizen, who simply wanted the best education for her kids. The girls will probably be branded as "schoolgirls," and "uppity", since they dared to try to get out of the ghetto.
This whole mess takes stupid to new heights.
