Former superintendent sentenced in data-scandal
Columbus City Schools’ former superintendent Gene Harris (alongside her lawyer, Yvette McGee Brown) pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor dereliction of duty charge for failing to fully investigate and stop the district’s data fraud. Harris was sentenced to a year of probation and 100 hours community service. She will also pay a $750 fine plus court costs. The judge also ordered her to surrender her teaching and superintendent licenses; which Harris had done before the hearing.
Two other former Columbus City Schools administrators have also be convicted in relation to the district’s date scandal: Stephen Tankovich, the former data director and Stanley Pyle, the former assistant principal at Marion-Franklin High School. (deb)
