From CBS WASHINGTON — An elementary school principal’s claim that she
saw teachers erasing answers on students’ test sheets had reached District of
Columbia Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson’s desk within 24 hours of the
alleged incident in late 2010, according to emails obtained by The Associated
Press through a public records request.
Henderson was notified about the alleged cheating by two
officials with the Washington Teachers’ Union, the emails show. However, school
system officials did little to investigate the specific claims and never
interviewed the principal about them, largely because possible cheating at the
school was already under investigation, school officials said.
The
former principal, Adell Cothorne, said the emails show the school system
essentially ignored her allegations. . . .
