The Inquirer’s Jan Hefler and Toni Callas have an article today about a possible grade-changing scandal at Cherry Hill High School East. The Inky sez the investigation centers on a senior who obtained a “privileged password” — true story: at my high school, the basketball coach’s password was “basketball” — and changed the grades of five students in exchange for money.
School officials, though, aren’t quite so forthcoming. All of these are sentences from the article:
- Police Lt. Bill Kushina said the investigation remained active. No arrests had been made, he said, declining to elaborate.
- “The district is currently investigating allegations of limited inappropriate use of technology,” school district spokeswoman Susan Bastnagel said. “No other information will be shared about these allegations until the investigation is complete.”
- The school superintendent would not comment.
- Anne Einhorn, vice president of the Board of Education, said school district and high school administrators were investigating allegations, but she would not elaborate.
- Other officials also acknowledged that there was a probe, but would not discuss it.
No comment.

That’s a helluva reporting job by FOUR reporters. Way to be tenacious.
I’ll bet that the passwords were simple like East, Eagles, basic number sequences, poodle, or even their last name. Teachers should be more careful when they chose their passwords.
