HOUSTON (CN) – The Houston public school system demoted a counselor for truthfully reporting that her high school\’s administration inflated its graduation rate so it could get an \”Acceptable\” rating from Texas, the counselor claims in court.
Sabrina Norman sued the Houston Independent School District in Harris County Court.
She claims that the high school administration was so desperate to graduate students that it gave them 40 hours of credit for attending a 4-hour Baptist Church service.
Norman was hired to work at Sam Houston High School in June 2008, and as the school counselor it was her job to schedule students\’ classes. While doing so, she says, she became concerned by excessive absences on students\’ records.
