The former principal of Laraway Elementary School committed forgery to get her convict friend a job.
The former principal of Laraway Elementary School got probation for forging a criminal history so a friend with a record could get a job at her school. Tashona Marshall, 32, of Chicago also took a 180 day sentence that was put off until the completion of her two-year probation. If she abides by the terms of her probation, Marshall likely won't have to do the time. Marshall was hit with a $15,000 fine as well. Marshall was arrested in April after the superintendent at her school district discovered she forged the criminal history of a friend looking for a job. The friend, Lashone White, 37, was hired on to the district's "food and nutrition team" in late 2011, according to a district newsletter. But White had been convicted of second degree…

Cesar Sanchez, 37, was caught at the Waste Management facility shortly after 8 p.m., a source said. The source also said Sanchez was hiding in a portable toilet.

Laraway is a pit. A public school that is forced to wear uniforms because of gang problems, bribes their students with "hot chips" (Flaming Hot Cheetos) for decent behavior, and takes field trips every quarter to those kids who can act human enough to sit in a classroom. It doesn't surprise me that they hired this woman as a principal since they know parents won't even know what's going on that … more ›
