The end of state Auditor Dave Yost's probe into school attendance tampering is near. He plans to release results of a statewide records review Monday.
Yost's auditors have spread across the state to
determine whether Ohio schools have been removing poor-performing
students from their rolls in attempts to improve performance ratings
that can impact federal funding and employee bonuses.
He had launched the review in response to unusual practices discovered in Columbus, Toledo and suburban Cincinnati districts.
Yost had identified questionable attendance
reporting methods in five districts, including Columbus, during the
first round of the probe. A second round turned up no new cases.
Release of Ohio's performance assessments was
temporarily delayed last year amid concern that faulty attendance data
may have compromised the rankings.
13abc will have a crew in Columbus for the release of that data and we will break down how the findings affect Toledo Public Schools.
