SEATTLE —
Grade Scandal In Seattle School
At a news conference on Thursday, the district announced its investigation involving about 50 students last year and 100 grades.
The district's investigation has found that most of the grade changes were made to allow students to graduate who otherwise didn't have the required 2.0 average. Investigators also found changes made to transcripts to make regular courses look like honors classes.
Survey: Should The Counselors Be Fired? If an investigation finds that counselors at Franklin High altered grades, should they be fired? Yes. No. I need more information to decide.
District officials said watering down the grades hurts all students in the long run. About 100 grades have been changed and the investigation is not over.
