Brooklyn principal to be removed after grade fixing probe
A public high school principal is being removed from her post after a 17-month probe into allegations of grade fixing.
The city’s Department of Education will replace Kathleen Elvin as principal of John Dewey High School in Brooklyn, schools Chancellor Carmen Farina said Wednesday.
Investigators launched a probe in April 2014 after they received an anonymous complaint against Elvin. As the inquiry expanded, they learned the school was running programs for students to gain credits required to graduate after failing other classes.
