Outrage Builds Over Grade-Manipulation Scandal In Baltimore School System

Earlier this month, ‘Project Baltimore’, an investigative reporting initiative, which was launched in March 2017, by Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. uncovered a Baltimore City school with zero students proficient in math and the highest graduation rate in the area.

The school in focus is Northwood Appold Community Academy II, or NACA II, after teachers contacted Project Baltimore saying grades were being change so students can graduate.

The school is located in East Baltimore City, Maryland where nearly 1/3 of African Americans have zero net wealth.

Earlier this week, Project Baltimore Lead Investigative Reporter Chris Papst attended a meeting between the School Board and residents from the community.

In focus was city resident Kim Trueheart, who runs the Liberty Rec and Tech Center in Northwest Baltimore, sat before the board seeking concerns about the brewing scandal Project Baltimore uncovered.

Obviously, they need more $$ - just ask the most highly-educated amongst us.

So what if their math skills are lacking? They are very proficient at looting and gang banging.

Let's cut the crap; just give them a community college diploma at the same time as they get their unearned HS diploma. Save everyone time, money and aggravation and they'll be just as smart and talented. Send it to their smartphone on Snapchat and save a couple of trees.
