and many of the teachers here are outraged. What course of action could I take to see that these people (administrators) are held accountable for this. I know that it's illegal and it really goes against everything that I believe in. Just because they didn't do their job in getting kids to come to school, doesn't mean that they have the right to break the law so that they look good. The school district, which is in a major port city in South Carolina, probably turns their heads because they want to look good as well. What should I do? It's just not right! If there are any school lawyers out there that could help, that would be great.

To answer your question as to what "LAW" was broken, I don't know exactly but it is illegal to "fudge" documentation so that your school meets state and national standards under the No Child Left Behind Act. I'm sure of this.

I wish you would, but I guess once you start to speak up, your job will become a nightmare.

That is a federal offense. It is also a felony. I suggest that you gather all of the evidence you have about it BEFORE talking to anyone. This includes any memoranda, copies of records before and after the change, etc. You need to turn them over to the federal government. I suggest you contact the FBI, AND hire an attorney for yourself as well, so that you can protect your own interests.

and what "LAW" are you claiming was broken?
EDITED BASED ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATIION:
When you can cite the exact law that was broken return. Otherwise, my answer is you have no grievence except through the State Board of Education and even then, your recourse is questionable as you lack standing.

I would go to upper people in that district (outside where you work) and tell them what is going on. Or, you could send an annonymous letter and tell them what is going on.

Make a phone call to the news. If you are not tenured do it anonymously.
