Lakewood Cheder School

Lakewood: The federal government filed charges against the private school for allegedly providing false information to obtain funds for preschoolers' lunches. Between 1996 and 2000, Lakewood Cheder School submitted claims for school lunches for more than 1,100 preschool-age children, but served them at 90 private residences. These were ineligible and unapproved sites under the program. The case claimed Lakewood violated the False Claims Act, which permits recovery of triple the amount of damages to the government plus penalties. Lakewood Cheder School does not admit liability, but has agreed to pay more than $1.2 million. (Nov-01-06) [ASBURY PARK PRESS: LAKEWOOD LUNCHES]
