Six Chicago Public Schools employees, including two teachers, have been charged with fraud after officials discovered a scheme that paid the staff members for time not worked. They bilked the schools for more than $135,000. Two other employees who helped set-up the scheme have already been charged, bringing the scheme's total participants to eight. Of those, six have been fired or resigned while two more await discipline. Yep, these are our educators.
