You would be surprised how many schools falsify documents so students can graduate or to help the school earn more points for accountability purposes.

refusing to turn over the students' transcripts and diplomas, throwing college plans into turmoil.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if you have trouble finishing your high school requirements you probably don't need to worry about college.

100% of the students got blank folders, the school had no idea who was legitimately eligible to graduate. It was total fraud by the administration.
On the local news tonight, one mother was furious, her son has to go to summer school because he, is half a credit short in PE. They only scheduled him for a year and 1/2 of PE, need two years of PE to graduate in LA.

I forget how many years ago it was but some girl graduated valedictorian from a new orleans public school. She wanted to go to, I think UNO. Anyway her ACT score was like a 13 to 15 or some shite like that so consequently, she didn't get in. That story made the news.

How many JFK high schools are there out there?

At least one more than there should be.

So will the solution be to drop the standards or actually making them responsible for their own actions?
Sounds like the administrative and teaching standards were dropped a couple years ago, so why not for the students as well?

Here come the lawsuits
quote:
The mother of a John F. Kennedy High School senior filed suit Monday against local and state education officials, saying her daughter suffered damages as the result of a grade-fixing scandal and other problems that erupted at the school in recent months.
In the suit, Darnette Daniels claims that her daughter, Tayler McClendon, is among hundreds of students who have tainted transcripts because of negligence at all levels of the school's governance.
Kennedy, a charter school in Gentilly that serves students in grades 9-12, is operated by the New Beginnings Schools Foundation. The suit seeks class-action status for all students and parents associated with the class of 2019.
Daniels is suing the state, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Orleans Parish School Board, New Beginnings Schools Foundation and TenSquare LLC, a Washington, D.C.-based consulting company hired by New Beginnings to temporarily manage the foundation's schools during a CEO search.

McClendon transferred to Kennedy from Slidell High School in her junior year. She was told she could take online classes through a program called GradPoint and could graduate a year early, the suit says. According to her lawyer, she applied to a full-time program at the Aveda Institute to become a licensed hair stylist after graduation. Those classes were set to begin on June 19.
But two days before Kennedy's graduation, McClendon and her mother were advised that none of the online credits she thought she had earned would be recognized because the courses were not taught by a certified teacher.
"All of her hard work, all of her sacrifice, had been performed for nothing," the suit says.

That’s an embarrassment. Those school administrators really let those kids down. They should be held accountable!
