Former Roswell school director charged with fraud

"When he finished the program and went to ninth grade, and we took him to enroll him in his public school, their accreditation was not good," Repasz said. "They just said the grades didn't count, nothing counted."

Repasz told Petchenik that she's out $12,000 and that her son is now struggling to retake his ninth grade classes while enrolled in the 10th grade.

"I maintain my innocence," she said. "We will take this to trial and prove that this was all a big misunderstanding."
