EJCHS investigation: School officials have ‘no comment’ on state probe

Jackson County School System officials had no comment this week about a state investigation of the principal and assistant principal at East Jackson Comprehensive High School over allegations they falsified some student attendance records.

“We have conducted our own investigation into the circumstances, and the PSC (Georgia Professional Standards Commission) has also looked into the claims, and I don't think it's appropriate for me to comment until the results of that investigation are known,” said Superintendent Shannon Adams.

Principal Patricia Stueck and assistant principal Chanda Palmer are being investigated by the PSC after a teacher at EJCHS filed a formal complaint in April claiming the two falsified some student attendance records.

The teacher said students were being counted — and in some cases receiving credit for — classes they really didn’t attend. She also told the PSC that school administrators created fake rosters and schedules for a student and that she was required to give credit to a student who really didn’t attend her class.

The PSC voted on May 12 to investigate the allegations and notified school officials of that on May 18. The investigation is ongoing.

NOPE nothing surprises me when it comes to the Jackson County school system.
You want to know why Shannon Adams said it wasn't appropriate for him to comment until the results of the investigation are known? Because he don't want to say they didn't do nothing wrong then the investigation says they did. If he stands up for them now saying they are innocent and the results come back to say they are guilty he may get FIRED because he tried to cover it up?
This sounds like a way to reduce the Jackson County school system budget to me? Get rid of some administrators instead of teachers who actually earn their money? To be an administrator all you got to know is how to blame everything on somebody else?

After they were told a student who missed more than ten days was in jail, they turned a blind eye when that student later brought in a fake medical excuse for those days. They KNEW the student was in jail!!!

Check JCCHS- You see they think since they have SO MUCH Education they are smart and everyone else is dumb? NEWS FLASH when you go to jail THAT IS PUBLIC RECORD anyone can find that stuff out? BUT when all is said and done no matter if they are found guilty or innocent I believe this teacher who first reported this will be fired or laid off? But what ever they want to call it SHE won't have a job no more?

This isn't about them thinking that they're better than everyone else. Don't be so immature and don't judge before you know the whole TRUE story.
