Principal accused of grade-fixing has new six-figure job

A Brooklyn principal accused of bringing grade-fixing to new heights has resigned, but was given another six-figure job, city officials said.

Marc Williams, after less than two years as principal of the Secondary School for Journalism in Park Slope, quit amid an investigation of course-credit schemes exposed by The Post in July.

A teacher said Williams turned a blind eye when a student got a passing grade in a course by taking online tests — with help from a classmate.

Williams has been made a “case manager” in the Department of Education’s human resources department, officials said. His new $127,443 salary is less than the $156,131 he made last school year, but “it was not a demotion,” said DOE spokesman Michael Aciman.

As DOE investigators grilled teachers about the credit schemes, the 236-student school was thrown into more turmoil this month.
