She Let Her Sister And Nephew, Who Has ASD, Move In So He Could Attend A Better School District, But Now Her Other Sister Also Wants To Use Her Address To Send Her Kids To The Same School
This woman’s sister, Jane, has a son with autism named James.
Jane is a single mother, and not long ago, James was struggling in school.
Unfortunately, the school district James is in has limited funding, and no one seems to care what effects this will have on the students.
She lives in an area with reputable schools, and she’s heard from her neighbors who are parents with children attending the schools that there are wonderful programs available for students who have needs similar to James’.
Because she had the available space in her room, she asked Jane if she and James wanted to move in with her so that he’d be able to attend one of the schools in her neighborhood.
Jane took her up on this, and James has been succeeding in his new school.
“The teachers and aides are much more engaged than at his old school. They’ve really been helping him work through some of his behaviors as well,” she said.
In response to James having the opportunity to attend a better school, her other sister, Leah, has been acting strangely.
Aside from having a more attentive team, including his teacher and aides, James has chances to participate in other activities and access tools that his other school hadn’t provided. It’s been a wonderful experience for him.

Leah’s family currently lives in the town that Jane and James just moved out of, so Leah’s children attend the school that doesn’t have much funding.
“Now, she wants to send her kids to school here, too. However, they are not taking any out-of-town students. So, Leah wants to use my address so she can send her kids to school here,” she explained.
After Leah mentioned this idea, she researched it and learned immediately that this is classified as fraud.
She also pointed out that since the area she lives in is pretty close-knit, people would quickly realize that Leah’s children don’t live there and that they’re just pretending they do in order to attend the better school.
“So, I don’t want to take the risk. Besides, Leah’s kids aren’t having trouble in school. Their school may not be the best, but they’re doing okay,” she shared.
She rejected Leah’s idea to use her address, and Leah told her that it wasn’t fair that she wouldn’t do what she could to help her children get an education at a better school while allowing Jane and James to move in so that James could have that opportunity.
