Glad to see something being done. This is a true sign of the disparity of our educational system. It is wonderful, I think, to see a mother doing whatever it takes to make sure her children get a quality based education. Not to mention it is not like she forged and address. She used the address of her father. I have said it before and I will say it again, if public education was equal on both sides of the tracks this would not be necessary.

On Monday grand theft charges were dismissed against Kelley Williams-Bolar and her father, Edward Williams, in the school residency case that has outraged the nation. But both still face felony counts of tampering with records, and the case continues to be a key part of the national debate over education reform.
The 40-year-old single mother of two works as a teacher's assistant for special needs kids at a nearby high school and is going to school for her own teacher certification. She lives in an Akron housing project, but sent her daughters to school in the wealthier district of by using her father's home address in neighboring Copley-Fairlawn.
