Kelly Williams-Bolar, the Akron woman sentenced to 10 days in jail on Monday for falsifying documents so that her children could attend Copley schools, is attracting attention from state law makers.
State Representative Zack Milkovich says he visited her in prison to get her side of the story. |
Milkovich says he spoke with her state rep, Vernon Sykes, and the two plan to work together to help her realize “her dream of becoming a school teacher.”
However, as Judge Patricia Cosgrove noted during Williams-Bolar’s sentencing, records tampering is a felony that will be reported to the state Department of Education, which will prevent her from getting her license. |
