This is the type of thing that is forcing our hand at staying out of DCPS. They know the system is broken, and yet they keep breaking it further.

The cheating taints all of the IVA scores from last year. All Group 1 teachers should be reclassified as Group 2 teachers for that Evaluation Period. Many of us would then qualify for the highly effective bonuses. Sounds like the making of a lawsuit.
