N.J. school district had ‘scheme’ to inflate student grades, 4 school officials say

Four former administrators in the Asbury Park School District have accused the board of education, local school officials and teaching staff of conspiring to rig student records to concoct a falsely rosy picture of the district.In four separate lawsuits filed on Jan. 13, the administrators claimed they were fired in retaliation for raising the alarm on the “pervasive scheme” to inflate students’ grades.
