4 Chicago high schools dramatically inflated student attendance: IG
Administrators at four Chicago public high schools inflated annual student attendance rates over the last four years by systematically falsifying daily attendance records, making it appear as if dramatically more students attended class than actually did, according to a CPS inspector general report obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
“The schools engineered the appearance of significantly improved attendance rates,” the inspector general said in the report to be released Thursday.
