John Perry is technical director of the Data Journalism Team at
The Atlanta-Journal Constitution. He has more than 25 years of experience as a data journalist working at
The Oklahoman newspaper in Oklahoma City, the investigative journalism nonprofit Center for Public Integrity, and since 2008 at
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Perry started at the AJC as a member of the investigative team. He was part of a three-member reporting team that uncovered systematic cheating on state standardized tests throughout the Atlanta Public School District, an effort that won the 2012 Hillman Prize in Newspaper Journalism. The team went on to investigate cheating nationally and uncovered hundreds of districts with suspicious test result patterns similar to those found in Atlanta, a project that was a 2013 Goldsmith Prize finalist.
Public education faces dire consequences following drop in enrollment

The decline could eventually have dire consequences for already stressed school budgets that are based on headcounts.
If enrollment doesn’t return to projected levels, the resulting loss of funding would be “crippling” to public education, leading to layoffs and program cuts, and also harmful to the states’ economies as school districts are among the largest employers in thousands of counties across the country.
Even more alarming, educators say, is that some of the students who left may not be in school at all.
Right now, updated enrollment numbers are not available in Florida. The state’s public education enrollment numbers were collected in October and are expected to be released in early January.
