A 32-year-old woman faces charges after she allegedly falsified paperwork to attend three Boston public high schools for an entire academic year, according to officials and records.
The discovery came after a Boston Public Schools staff member this month noticed discrepancies in the woman’s student paperwork on file and contacted Boston Police, according to a letter district Superintendent Mary Skipper sent to parents June 20.
The woman falsified paperwork to register as a student and attended three different schools under different pseudonyms, Skipper said in the letter.Detectives investigating the case found several falsified documents in the woman's bedroom that gave authorities"probable cause to believe" she falsely represented herself to enroll in Boston Public Schools, according to a police incident report obtained by NBC News.
The woman used forged documents from the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families that were signed by a person who the agency had no record of employing, according to the police report. “I am deeply troubled that an adult would breach the trust of our school communities by posing as a student,” Skipper said in a statement. “This appears to be a case of extremely sophisticated fraud.”
The woman faces charges of forgery and utter false writing, according to a criminal complaint obtained by NBC News.It wasn’t immediately clear if the woman had an attorney who could speak on her behalf, and contact information for her could not be found in public records.The Department of Public Health confirmed to NBC News the Board of Registration has opened an investigation into the woman.
