State lawmakers from Prince George's seek broad probe of graduation rates

State lawmakers from Prince George’s County are urging the Maryland State Department of Education to investigate claims that school officials altered the grades of hundreds of students to meet graduation-rate targets.

In a letter dated Thursday and shared with The Washington Post, the leaders of the county’s State House delegation said an inquiry by state officials several months ago — which was triggered by an anonymous complaint — was not sufficiently impartial and did not go far enough in investigating claims similar to those levied this month by four members of the county Board of Education.
