Company allegedly defrauded Columbus Schools

A Columbus tutoring company is under investigation for allegedly defrauding the Columbus schools.  Apostolic Faith Temple Incorporated is accused of billing the district for tutoring sessions that never took place.  The company allegedly signed students in and out of tutoring sessions without the students being present or engaged in the process.  District officials say they could recover more than 300-thousand dollars if fraud is found.
