CCS Creates New Student Data Policies

The Columbus school district has created new policies to avoid a repeat of the attendance data-rigging scandal. The policies create a paper trail to back up information in a student's computerized file. The polices come after state and federal investigators found some principals withdrew students to keep their test scores from counting, then re-enrolled them.
