We’ve closely followed the investigative journalism of Chris Papst from Fox45 News’ Project Baltimore, who has uncovered what could be one of the largest education scandals in the country involving Baltimore City Schools. Papst’s latest report asks: What is the Maryland State Department of Education hiding?
For some context, Papst and his team of reporters have dedicated six years to investigating the Baltimore City School system, the fourth most funded in the nation. Their findings are shocking:
- 2017: “It’s Very Common”: Baltimore Teacher Admits To Passing Students That Never Showed For A Single Day Of Class
- 2017: Attendance At Baltimore City Schools Crashes To 13 Year Low Just As Juvenile Crime Spikes
- 2017: 13 Baltimore High Schools Have Zero Students That Are Proficient In Math
- 2019: Grade-Changing Scandal: Judge Orders Baltimore City Schools To Release Documents
- 2019: Grade-Rigging Scandal: Baltimore Students Missed 100+ Days Of School, Failed Classes, Still Graduated
- 2021: After Grade-Rigging Scandal, Baltimore City Schools No Longer Holding Back Failing Students
- 2023: ‘Education Crisis’: 23 Baltimore City Schools Have No Students Proficient In Math
another Dirty Democrat no doubt !
As usual, nothing will be done about this. Slaps on the wrists all around – maybe one or two people are allowed to retire early or something like that, and the whole thing just goes away.
