In 2011 Kelley Williams-Bolar was convicted of lying about her residency to get her daughters into a better school district. In 2006 Kelley sent her daughters to school in Copley-Fairlawn School District. But it wasn't her Akron district of residence, so she was asked to remove her children from the district. 18 months after removing her daughters Kelley was sent an indictment from Copley schools. She was ultimately forced to spend 10 days in jail but her father was convicted also and later passed away in jail. This story is heartbreaking as it is another example of how oppressive this system is, this one highlighting the educational system. Kelley continues to advocate and fight for other families til this day. We thank you Kelley.
