Mayor Orders Fire Dept. To Re-Administer Exams

BALTIMORE -- A fire department exam at the center of allegations of cheating will be re-administered in March.

City Inspector General Hilton Green said results from the June 2 exam were compromised and the testing facility wasn't secure.

The test will be given on March 15 for some of those who took the June exam. Anyone the Inspector General identified as acting inappropriately during the exam is not eligible to retake it, officials said.

The city inspector general's report released in November found that as many as six firefighters compromised the exam by either having prior knowledge of the questions, having studied with someone who did or having copied answers from someone who had prior knowledge of the test questions.

Mayor Sheila Dixon said Friday that Human Resources Director Gladys Gaskins is responsible for safeguarding the March exam.

I hear the SFD promotion exam had a lot of hands in it. Many that took the test knew what was on it. Does anyone know if this is true? Was the exam prepared by human resources?

Go ahead and administer the written examinations again. I’ll put money on it that LC, LD will score poorly again.
