Kasich Campaign Hit By Charter School Data Rigging Scandal

[groverblue]

Newly-released documents indicate that the husband of Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s presidential campaign manager participated with other Ohio Department of Education (ODE) staff in a coordinated effort to falsely inflate the evaluations of some charter school sponsors.

In July, former state Department of Education Director of School Choice David Hansen – husband of Beth Hansen, Kasich’s former chief of staff in the governor’s office and now his presidential campaign manager – resigned after admitting he manipulated evaluations of some charter sponsors, reports the Columbus Dispatch. The data rigging allowed the sponsors of poor-performing online schools to appear to be engaged in adequate supervision of those schools.

State Superintendent of Schools Richard Ross said the records show that neither he nor Kasich had any involvement in the data manipulation. The Dispatch, however, reports “emails show that some outside the department were asking for explanations.”

Education and school districts are notorious lies and scams
and distortion of data, enrollment yadayadayada.

Education is gonna be quicksand for Kommie Kasich . . . but this seems like grasping at straws.

Kasich might be a suitable VP for Comrade-in-chief Bernie Sanders - but all that taxation for all the promises of what government can do for you . . . electorate never asks these guys how they pay for it all.
