A mother who pleaded guilty to fraudulently enrolling her six-year-old son in the wrong school district has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Tonya McDowell sent her son to an elementary school in Norwalk, Connecticut, instead of her home city of Bridgeport.

The 34-year-old, who was homeless when she was charged with felony larceny last year, said she wanted the best education possible for the boy.

Jailed: Tracy McDowell pleaded guilty to fraudulently enrolling her six-year-old son in the wrong school district and has been sentenced to five years in prison

McDowell last week entered her plea at Norwalk Superior Court under the Alford Doctrine, which means she does not admit guilt but concedes the state has enough evidence to convict her.

Authorities told the hearing that she used a babysitter's address to enroll her son in kindergarten in Norwalk when he should have attended schools in Bridgeport, her last permanent address.

Her case drew national attention and support from civil rights leaders and other advocates who wanted the charge dismissed.

Re: Homeless Mother Tanya McDowell gets 5 years for sending son to wrong school.

OP's title is absolutely WRONG. This sentence did not have SHIT to do with the school case - as the judge specificly noted:
http://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Tanya-McDowell-sentenced-to-5-years-in-prison-3437974.php

BRIDGEPORT -- Even as she faced sentencing Tuesday for twice selling drugs to an undercover police officer, Tanya McDowell vowed she would continue to fight for a better education for her young son.

"Who would have thought that wanting a good education for my son would put me in this predicament?" McDowell lamented as she stood handcuffed before Superior Court Judge Frank Iannotti. "I have no regrets seeking a better education for him, I do regret my participation in this drug case."

Last month the 34-year-old Bridgeport woman pleaded guilty in a Norwalk court to charges of first-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit first-degree larceny for illegally enrolling her 6-year-old son in Norwalk public school despite living here.

That case drew protests by residents and civil rights groups who claimed McDowell was being persecuted for her attempt to get a better education for her son.

Iannotti retorted Tuesday that the Norwalk case had nothing to do with why McDowell was before him.

"This case is about the convictions for the sale of narcotics to an undercover police officer," the judge said. "I think you understand that because that is really the essence of what has gotten you into the predicament you find yourself today."

On the two counts of sale of narcotics, the judge then sentenced her to 12 years, suspended after she serves five years and followed by five years probation. The sentence is to run concurrently with a five-year sentence she received in the Norwalk case.

"When you are released, go back to doing an honest living and become a role model for your son," the judge added.

Tuesday's hearing ended a highly charged case that put a spotlight on the city's beleaguered school system and cries for changes in state legislation that makes it illegal for parents to send their children to schools in towns where they are not residents.

But support for McDowell dropped off after she was arrested by Bridgeport police in June and charged with selling marijuana and crack cocaine on two occasions to an undercover police officer outside her Dover Street home. Police said McDowell even interrupted her 6-year-old son's birthday to sell the drugs.

Assistant State's Attorney Michael DeJoseph had made strong efforts to separate the Norwalk case from the drug cases he was prosecuting.

In the end, both he and McDowell's lawyer, Darnell Crosland, said they were happy with the resolution of the cases.

Thanks for catching that.

Had me looking silly for a minute.

Jailing a mother for putting a child in school is still one step too far in the United States.

Again, she is only in jail for the drugs. The title is misleading.

As for the school district shit, Ohio is cracking down on that shit too. You want your school district to go to shit? Let people who don't live their send kids to it. Nine times out of ten, those are the kids who will be causing all of the problems while the parents put not one fucking dime into the district. The first thing a fucking district does when it needs money is tax the residents.

You want your kids going to school with kids of parents like this? These the type of parents who side with their bad ass kids. They bring nothing but drama. Shit ends up affecting the black people who actually bust ass to end up in such a school district more than it does the WAWs. One way suburbs turn to hoods is when school districts don't enforce residency rules. Seen that shit in effect from Euclid to South Euclid to Bedford to Garfield. Even Solon had problems with that shit.

Its theft of services....

and its fraud because she signed papers saying she lived in the district and paid taxes there.

The people in that district pay taxes to go to that school. People make choices when choosing where to live many times based on a school.

Some of those school taxes are more than private school tuition..

Should she be able to send her child to a private school and not pay for it ?

Re: Homeless Mother Tanya McDowell gets 5 years for sending son to wrong school.

1st
people use people's addresses all the fucking time to get their kids to the school that they want them to go to so stop with the brand new shit. they did the shit before i was born
i knew several people who did the shit using a friends or a family members address to attend school in the district so this shit is not anything new nor is it a crime nor is it even worth mentioning.


now the selling drugs she's wrong for that and that's all there is to it. she got sentenced for selling drugs
not sending her son to a good school

get off your horse
it wasn't a private school. it was a public school
so you're saying even with free education if you can't afford to live where the good school is you have to just go to the bad school and get lesser education?

ain't no kids getting kicked out who do live in that district because her son went to the school

the reason they do that is because they know they aren't entitled.

and schools have been cracking down for years

taking people to court to get that money.

shit they do it to recruit ball players too and there have been schools follow kids home to see where they go.


and because it was done don't make it right and when people get caught they get jammed up.


and that old before you were born shit don't work now.


I have seen cases where kids go live with their granny and can't get in until they give her guardianship..


people act like they don't live with their woman and kids so they can get section 8 too..

When your children get older, you'll be in favor of enforcing residency requirements. Believe that. In northeast Ohio, you don't want you kids in school with cats from Hough or some shit. It brings nothing but drama. You don't pay to live in a certain area for that horseshit.

Re: Homeless Mother Tanya McDowell gets 5 years for sending son to wrong school.

Brown vs Board of Ed failed

Now you have black parents commenting about a black parent using the system as it currently is to further the education of her child.

In 2013, the response by the victims is not about changing the way schools are funded but on "theft of services" etc

WTF have we come to?

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Re: Homeless Mother Tanya McDowell gets 5 years for sending son to wrong school.

the reason they do that is because they know they aren't entitled.

entitles to send their kid to a good school in a good school district because they aren't fortunate enough to make enough to live there where the good schools are?

so if you're poor you deserve bad schools in your area even though they all should be good but in reality aren't? that's what you're saying?

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Re: Homeless Mother Tanya McDowell gets 5 years for sending son to wrong school.

education ain't free.....people pay taxes in their districts.

people pay taxes everywhere in America let's not play that game. that's some elitist bullshit you're spewing right now.

the people in the bad district pay taxes too how come their public schools aren't up to par?

if its public its public if there are major concerns then you put your kids in private.

if the school is good, its good. if it isn't it isn't so a few kids from other districts could be good or could be bad but if you send your kid to a good school having a few who aren't from the district doesn't mean it turns bad.

the bad ones don't even go to a different district ... they barely even go to school at all

nope but you better get to work fixing the schools where you live.

just getting taxes doesn't make a school good by itself...but those who will do whatever to go there and spend they extra money normally also spend time to demand they get what they pay for.


i went to schools in poor neighborhoods but they were good schools cause our people were involved. Also teachers could whoop your ass back then too.

There aren't major concerns as long as rules are enforced. And a few bad apples can really fuck a school up. It's especially true if you putting hood cats with suburban cats. White folks ain't even affected.

People are sticking up for this lady, but what if you don't pay your property taxes to fund your school? Do you get to keep your home? Hell no. Your shit will be at county auction. Do you get to say "I don't use your system, I send my kids to private school!"

Hell no, they like uncle Pauly... " fuck you, pay me!"

Is that fair?

when it was a few doing it i don't think they paid as much attention to it...

and it isn't always because a school is good.

Chicago Public Schools have a whole department that checks residency.

The reason why is the Chicago Public League especially in basketball always got more shine and looks from colleges.

So you would have suburban kids trying to go the higher profile schools Like Crane, Westinghouse, Julian Morgan Park Whitney Young and Simeon.

They did it because it helped them get expsposure for college schoilarships.


Look at Simeon with all the national hype it gets and sneaker deals and all that shit.

So you have kids who live in good areas that have good schools but try to go to hood schools because of sports.


Also recruiting in Illinois is supposed to be illegal but all the schools do it and their are always investigations and sometimes kids rulled illegible..

they put bad schools in bad neighborhoods
its not the kids
its the resources and stuff that they put into those schools

so my question is are you saying because someone might not make enough to live upscale neighborhood wise that means their kid should suck it up and go to a school lacking resources?

i work with kid k-12 that go to good schools and bad schools
their parents are all involved on the same scale i have found in this area.

it aint just good kids coming to get tutoring cause their parents want it

and it aint bad kids coming on their own cause they realize they need help

but when the field trip slips come and the home work comes
there is a HUGE DISPARITY between the good schools and the bad ones

and that ain't got nothing to do with the people

Re: Homeless Mother Tanya McDowell gets 5 years for sending son to wrong school.

The atlanta case:

A Clayton County woman says she was only trying to do right by her teenage son when they moved into her sister’s home and enrolled him in the Henry County school system.

But that enrollment — at a time when area schools are loath to take nonresidents — was a costly move.

A Henry County Superior Court jury found both Tanja Revette Hale of Rex and her brother-in-law, James Lewis of McDonough, guilty of one count each of “making a false writing” this week in what is believed to be the first such school enrollment case to go to a jury trial in Henry County.

The case is notable in that the penalty could set a precedent for others convicted of the same offense, especially as students flee neighboring Clayton County’s loss of school accreditation.

Hale is adamant she did nothing wrong.

“I’ve never heard of a parent going to jail for taking care of their kids,” said Hale, a bartender and single mother of six children. “I’ve heard of parents going to jail for not taking care of their kids. But taking care of their kids? That’s crazy.”

As first-time felons, Hale and Lewis were placed on five years’ probation, and each was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine. In addition, they must complete 100 hours of community service and repay the Henry County school system nearly $1,200 in tuition costs from the first half of her son’s year at Louella High School.

Hale, 44, enrolled her son after completing an affidavit in December 2007 saying the two lived in McDonough with Lewis, a retired Atlanta police officer, and her sister, who is an attorney. Her sister, Clayton trial attorney Loletha Hale, said the family would file a motion for a new trial.

Hale said she moved because she had become increasingly worried about the company her son was keeping,not because of any concerns over Clayton’s accreditation.

To legally enroll, Hale’s 18-year-old son, Theodore Belcher, had to be living in the county with a legal guardian or parent. Hale contends she lived in the Lewis home but never had time to fill out mail-forwarding forms to confirm her new address. Loletha Hale backed up her sister’s contention that the two lived with her.

Tanja Hale’s son — her youngest child — now lives with her in Rex and is a senior at Forest Park High School.

Henry County School Board Chairman Ray Hudalla defended the prosecution.

“A lot of this was driven by the community,” he said. “The community demanded we be more accountable for educating students who actually live here rather than students who live someplace else.

“This isn’t a matter of trying to punish students. This is about taking care of Henry County citizens,” Hudalla said.

Confident they would be exonerated, Hale and Lewis had rejected an earlier deal that would have avoided a trial. The two didn’t retain a lawyer and represented themselves in court.

Lewis, 58, did not return calls seeking comment.

Under Georgia law, making a false writing is punishable by a maximum sentence of five years in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.

“When you make a false statement, that’s a felony,” said Tommy Floyd, the district attorney for the Flint Judicial Circuit.

This isn’t Hale’s first brush with the law. In 1999, she pleaded guilty and received probation after being arrested for a misdemeanor assault on Linda Tanner, who was the principal at Jonesboro High School at the time. Hale was also convicted of obstruction after struggling with a police officer during the arrest.

Clayton schools spokesman Charles White said he was unaware of the case involving Hale and Lewis and declined comment.

The district has lost about 3,500 students since losing accreditation, Superintendent John Thompson said last week.

With the anticipated exodus from Clayton, officials from nearby counties had expected to see a spike in illegally enrolled students.

Fulton, Fayette and Douglas have all discovered students illegally enrolled, with most being removed without criminal penalty. DeKalb County schools spokesman Dale Davis said he knew of no such cases.

In Fayette and Henry, law enforcement authorities confirm each residency affidavit.

Of the 84 students withdrawn from Fayette after being found to be improperly registered, just one case has been submitted for prosecution. Fayette has already this year received $2,200 in tuition restitution from a case prosecuted two years ago, said Melinda Berry-Dreisbach, a spokeswoman for Fayette County schools.

Henry County currently lists nearly 40,000 students, with 7,400 of those being served in portable classrooms.

and that ain't got nothing to do with the people

I disagree that they put bad schools in bad neighborhoods.

I have seen schools go down the toilet as the neighborhood does. Schools that were known as good schools.

When parental involvement stops schools go downhill.

When parents don't work with the teachers and stay on the teachers the schools go downhill.

When parents don't work with their child the child doesn't get the education that may be offered.

You can go to a great school but if you put in no effort the result will be negative.

I also know of great schools in bad neighborhoods.


I have lived to many places and to long to believe that because a school is in a poor hood that makes it a bad school and vice versa

My son went to school in the city of Chicago, The school was great for him, they had a full radio and tevlevision studio. they had a full culinary arts department, they had a full fashion design department. Olympic pool and police stationed there because of the violence in the hood.

When we walked into the gym everybody new my wife and I but when we walked into the school every teacher knew us as well.

A friend of mine whose son went to a suburbn school was the opposite. Every person in the gym knew him because his son played ball but no teachers did because he wasn'tt involved until he was told his son was kicked off the team for bad grades.


ANd you have it confused by it being a public school......

So Indiana is very close to Chicago.. Should I be able to go to Indiana and put my kids in a public school there ?

so what school district do homeless kids belong to?

and im sorry but public education k-12 is public education.

all kids should be able to go to the best schools if they desire to. if they're there to learn

and all of the bad schools should not be in the black neighborhoods

but they are

I keep forgetting you're about 25 or so. I have lived long enough to witness school districts go from sugar to shit. It wasn't economics. It wasn't education. It was the people. Kids started assaulting teachers and acting a fool. The "parents" stand by the kids. Doesn't matter what the kids do. Next thing you know you need real police at the school. The kids will also bring the kids from the hood who don't go to school to the school. The good teachers get the fuck out of dodge. It becomes a bad place to learn.

People move to school districts sometimes because of the schools. More often than not, these are people who PLAN THEIR FAMILIES. Why should they be punished? Again, can they just say fuck paying property taxes? That would be the equal to sending their kids to another school district. Of course not. They have to pay like they fucking weigh to have their kids in the district.

Public education isn't free. Do you have school levies out there? If so, you know it isn't free.

In 2013, education basically comes down to family planning. This isn't 1913. People who plan usually can afford to provide their kids with better educations.

and none into our schools we get what we get...


i remember in junior high i got a textbook and i saw my cousins name in the textbook.

the dude is 15 years older than me

The city of Chicago pours money into the schools. they have resources. they build brand new schools.

they give them shit that don't get used . Julian had an olympic sized pool and a diving pool and couldn't get a swim team.

now Chicago also has an all black school in the heart of Englewood that graduates nearly 100% and all get accepted to 4 year colleges.

Englewood is one of the worst neighborhoods in the country.

You set that bar real low.

So the only time anyone must have an opinion is when it directly affects them.

WTF are you smoking today Ballscout?

your opinion is based on bullshit......you should at least have some idea what you are talking about to offer an opinion on it.

i only smoke the best....
