June 9, 2011

From The Chicago Sun-Times: Oak Park and River Forest (Ill.) High School District 200 is suing the parents of two students enrolled in classes in 2009-2010, accusing the family of living in Chicago, outside school boundaries. The suit seeks more than $30,000 in out-of-district tuition. The parents, Maurice Carter and Terri Shaw Carter, say their family has lived in an condominium in Oak Park for years. But court records and an attorney handling lawsuit say an investigation showed the family was living a Chicago neighborhood that borders Oak Park.
