Atlanta School District Releases North Atlanta High School Racial Discrimination Report
WABE 90.1 FM
In a story first reported by WABE news, allegations of racial discrimination and improper grade changing were charged at North Atlanta High School.
Today, the Atlanta Public Schools released the findings of an internal investigation into those claims.
The 166 page report found no racial discrimination as defined by law.
WABE's Jim Burress and Rose Scott discuss the report.
However, the report says the North Atlanta Campus experienced a “racial divide in its perception of race discrimination.”
And that according to the report, suggests racial tension.
APS board chair Reuben McDaniel told WABE he would not comment until after reading the full report.
STATEMENT FROM ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS:
Atlanta Public Schools has received the independent auditor’s investigative summary report on allegations of racial discrimination and grading improprieties at North Atlanta High School. The nature of the complaints substantiated the need to initiate this investigation. The report indicates that no laws were broken. However, it raised issues that should have been addressed. Now in place is a new principal, who has already begun to work on the issues, and we are confident that we can all return to the business of educating children.
