The question of school-lunch fraud is heating up in Albany, Ga., with three recent arrests connected to falsified information on applications for free and reduced-price lunch.
Last month, elementary school principal Gloria Baker “was suspended without pay after she was arrested for failing to report her $90,000 salary on free lunch forms,” reports WALB-TV in southwestern Georgia. Baker’s husband also was arrested.
More recently, Dougherty County School Board Member Velvet Riggins “faces one felony and two misdemeanor counts for providing false information so that her children could receive free school lunches.”
Carolina Journal has reported on school lunch fraud in North Carolina. The situation in Albany raises a whole new series of issues, though. Check out the video below for the latest.
