Mercedes Schneider reports a welcome development in New Orleans: in the wake of a grade-fixing scandal, all student records will be audited.
As she says, it is about time. After so much boasting from NOLA, it’s time to check the facts.
She writes:
This is a long time coming.
As a result of the grade-fixing scandal at a New Orleans charter high school– a scandal that resulted in 49 percent of the school’s Class of 2019 being found to lack credits and/or exit exam scores– Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) superintendent, Henderson Lewis, vows a criminal investigation of that school, Kennedy High School (operated by New Beginnings Schools Foundation) as well as an audit of student records for students attending New Orleans high schools.

All the wonders of privatization! You can launder your money and your student grades. Then, you can self report on how great your school and students are doing. We need to come to the realization that privatization is a gigantic barrel of pork designed to transfer wealth from working people and the poor and hand it to those already wealthy. For profit college ads are popping up again. Our government is led by con artists, ponzi and pyramid schemers. We have lost our way.
you can self report: happily offering your own version of events to a WE LOVE EVERYTHING SCHOOL REFORM press
