INWOOD — A Manhattan assistant principal may be at risk of losing her job after she failed to let students fail, incorrectly changing their grades from failing to passing, according to the New York Post.
High School for International Business & Finance Assistant Principal Kalliopi Hatzivasilis admitted to mistakenly boosting students’ grades in courses for which the students passed the corresponding Regents exam, the paper wrote.
Even after Hatzivasilis was informed that no such policy existed, she never reversed those students’ grades because "I was just lazy," the Post reports her as telling investigators in the Office of the Special Commissioner of Investigation.
When asked why Hatzivasilis fudged grades as many as three years after students had completed those courses, she said, "I have no reason," according to an SCI report obtained by the Post.
The changes to 22 students' transcripts were reported to the SCI last summer, the paper reported.
