That was my point. No one is arguing about last season. If the issues this season is completely different than it should be handled different.

Yes,Last season. New principal this school year.
The issues this year are a result of 2023 spring (last school year). Appears the eligibility this year was for unexcused absences which may be related to the items listed in the reports. Graduation seemed to be a hot button topic on the investigation and what led to all of this coming out.Yes,

Changing those grades to help secure scholarships is what could put him in jail. But I have no idea if that is being explored.What was done at New Bern HS is criminal. A principal has discretion but he took part in a fraud scheme. Anyone that has been involved in education knows that what he did was beyond the scope of what is allowable.
Changing multiple grades for one student by up to 56 points (25-81). Going back and increasing a grade (for the second time) from 71 to 81 that had oringinally been in the 40's. Changing numerous failing grades (11) for one student to passing grades (70-89) when the student missed over 80% of the days and did not turn in assignments or participate in class. In his eyes, and some parents and supporters, what he did may be seen as helping a young person but in reality he has contributed to the continual decline of the community.
The NCHSAA is not going to call him to investigate. The investigation is performed by the LEA or law enforcement not the NCHSAA.
The General Assembly is not going to be supportive of his actions. This is not the type of item they will publicly support. They will magnify it to use as another reason students/parents should have more options due to the failure of the traditional school.
I’ve pretty much told what I can. Some things I can’t mention because it would make it easy to identify people.Otis has been stating this from day one. If he wants to go into this farther, that’s up to him. I know where he got all this stuff and it’s reliable. If he was in the media, he would have had more that the two sources that a reporter would have to have before going public.
This can’t be stressed enough. The New Bern staff from new principle all the way down the line to the new coaching staff are doing things right. Havelock and West Craven better be as well.Last season. New principal this school year.
There's one other person on here that unlawfully uses the "shit" word and gets away with this derogation language continuously.He's full of shit. He was in on the cheating. Plain and simple.
It is a well-known fact that leaders frequently advise teachers to adjust students' grades in order to support them in the path they are heading. Every year a school leader breaks the law.Changing those grades to help secure scholarships is what could put him in jail. But I have no idea if that is being explored.

That is academic fraud. Depending on how this is handled it could get much more serious and costly. I would not have went public.Changing those grades to help secure scholarships is what could put him in jail. But I have no idea if that is being explored.
Didn't you just use it?There's one other person on here that unlawfully uses the "shit" word and gets away with this derogation language continuously.
How so??But it also sounds like some of this had tones of racism.
These allegations Jerry has released that he says were made at him have opened the door to be able to discuss these allegations. Soooo..
He says mentions inappropriate relationships. Quote from article.
Allegedly, former Superintendent Megan Doyle and former HR Assistant Superintendent (current superintendent) Wendy Miller reprimanded Simmons following an investigation into allegations he had inappropriate relationships with staff and created a “divisive and threatening environment.” Simmons said he was informed of the investigation on Oct. 21, 2020, and the findings showed no evidence of inappropriate relationships. As evidence of divisiveness, Simmons alleged CCS used an email from Sept. 15, 2020, he sent to staff reminding them of the importance of following COVID-19 protocols as in-person instruction began to start back up.
End of quote.
He got married to a staff member that was pregnant by him before they got married.
He is doing a good job of making a fool of himself. He needs no help.
Every year, somewhere in North Carolina a leader will verbatim tell a teacher to commit fraud.The teachers were not consulted.
This was on a massive scale with grades being changed by as much 56 points and in at least one instance a great being changed and then increased a second time by another ten points. That is not typical.
He's full of shit. He was in on the cheating. Plain and simple.

Pa·ren·the·sisDidn't you just use it? NO
Wow. Adults. We are failing on so many levels right now in this world.We all thought the board would want to steer clear of any unnecessary publicity with the recent issues coming out of the county. During the most recent board meeting, a board member said you had to "choose your A". She said academics or athletics, because you can't do both.
Now this.
Freehand? I heard those Illegal Aliens were purty good at what they do in the farm fields. Did they hire those extraterrestrials from a neighboring galaxy or what pa? If so, please let me know of a great point of contact.

Down in South MS listening to the game on ESPN radio. This is the second weekend in a row that the broadcast dropped off the internet. Tonight the broadcast was offline for most of the 2nd half, came back on with 53 seconds left in the game. Glad we won but what is the problem with the broadcast?Glad we were able to get at least 1 more game to play on this bad boy. 😍

No idea. They’ll be the best team we’ve faced this year and will have to play a complete game. The usual underdog stuff; limit penalties, win turnover battle, big plays on special teams etc.They going to beat Cleveland?
