No, you are not imagining things. There are new allegations of improper grading practices this school year at Atlanta Public Schools.
APS has investigated at least eight cases. In two cases, no wrongdoing was found, according to an APS spokeswoman. Two cases are still under investigation. But, according to district reports, wrongdoing allegedly took place in four cases at the following schools:
South Atlanta School of Law and Social Justice: While principal, Charlotte Davis allegedly changed 144 grades from failing to passing in the 2013-14 school year. Davis resigned this spring.
Carver School of Technology: Josie Love, as principal, allegedly gave "B's" to approximately 70 students. Love has since been demoted to assistant principal.
Washington School of Banking, Finance and Investment: As principal, Charcia Nichols allegedy awarded some students grades they had not earned. Nichols has resigned.
Washington School of Banking, Finance and Investment (additional case): A registrar allegedly changed a student's grade from a 69 to a passing grade of 70.
Booker T. Washington High Schools: The fallout continues as a former registrar says she was told to change student transcripts.
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office is evaluating the cases, but a determination has not been made.
