Baltimore school leaders address failing school controversy but sidestep specifics Print this article
Baltimore City school leaders offered an apology Tuesday night following a bombshell report that an area high school had promoted hundreds of students with failing grades and high truancy records.
However, the comments made at the meeting by School Board President Linda Chinnea and Baltimore City School CEO Sonja Santelises prompted more questions than answers.
Chinnea did not provide details about the grading issue at the Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts but called the situation painful and unacceptable.
She added that she was aware of significant shortcomings by school staff three years ago. She also claimed the school district acted immediately and had conducted routine audits, selected a new principal, and has been working with students to make up lost credits.
