LA Schools Want Exemption From Fraud-Fighting Verification Rule

[Ayatollahgondola]

Ah yes; The schools have been raking in extra money by claiming a whole lot more students qualify as low income than actually exist, so now the investigators want verification of incomes, and the school hierarchy wants a waiver so they'll go away. They should look back, but unfortunately they'll only look at the present....unless the state buckles under political pressure and grants them a pass so the cheating and graft can continue

Districts already verify students' family income every four years for a federally subsidized meal program. Officials say the notifications about the new rules went out late and some parents balk at divulging personal information.
