Five more Columbus school principals connected to the district’s data-manipulation scandal could lose their state-educator licenses.
The Ohio Department of Education sent the administrators letters Aug. 8 informing them that disciplinary action had been initiated against their licenses, according to public records The Dispatch obtained Monday.
Five years ago, The Dispatch first revealed that Columbus City Schools administrators were falsifying student data to make the district’s performance appear better on its state report cards. The most-recent notices accuse administrators of misconduct during the 2010-11 school year.
