I'm the ABC7 reporter who aired this story Monday and talked to these former charter school employees about their accusations. These are not the only charter schools we heard allegations against. However, these two were the ones we had access to records or employees willing to speak at length about what they say happened there. If there are more employees who believe systemic grade and attendance fixing is happening at their charter school, the public charter school board says they want to hear from those employees - and of course, so do I.

If there are any questions DCUM folks have about this story, I can try to answer them here.  [/quote]

Investigate further the Charter School Board, especially in lieu of the reports by Washington City Paper & Washington Post about conflict of interest etc. According to this report the teacher did report it to the board and they did nothing...

These stories come out in print then go away, no one is held accountable

Stop trying to prevent charter schools from “outperforming” traditional schools.[/quote]

Don't be ridiculous, there is corruption in both are you okay with that, I guess so? The media is the enemy right? NO the enemy is ANY school that purports to teach and educate the youth of DC and does not for whatever reason. The students deserve better!

Any while you're at it investigate *Paul, Chavez, Friendship the number of vacancies and teacher turnover tells you something is drastically wrong. Start with Paul![/quote]

Yeah, sure, investigate all the schools serving oredominantly minority kids. Racist much? [/quote]

No it's racist to not investigate because they serve predominately minority students and most folks on DCUM do not send their kids there! Interview some of the teachers former and current if you want to get a true picture of what goes on. I know for a fact that at 2 of these schools it is a hot mess, part of the reason is they don't pay very well and have terrible benefits and so have a constant churn of under-qualified and under-experienced teachers.
