COLUMBUS, Ohio — A former superintendent went to prison in Texas for conspiring to remove low-performing students from classrooms to boost average test scores. Principals in Oklahoma and Missouri are out of their jobs after attendance-related scandals.
In Ohio, a recent state audit uncovered nine districts that withdrew students retroactively or improperly reported they were attending alternative programs. In one instance, auditor Dave Yost said, a district ignored state rules ‘‘because they didn’t like them.’’

Does anyone else remember "back in the day" when we had local school boards, and none of this mega government interference?
But then, the GREEDY saw an opportunity to get their grubhooks on some Federal and State dough.
They figured they could handle the "strings" attached to that money, now they are dancing like marionettes.
Meanwhile, back at the Fed, let the beauracrats do what they do best, WRITE MORE REGULATIONS, gotta do sumpn' ever day..ayup.
