Is there any truth concerning rumors of coaches who change student grades in order to allow that student to be eligible to play athletics?
The district is unaware of any specific instances of this occurring, and would take full disciplinary action against any parties fraudulently changing grades for any purpose. The checks and balances of the district’s grading system ensure that any grade cannot be changed for any reason without the knowledge and approval of the student’s teacher. Individuals who suspect a grade may have been changed fraudulently should immediately contact the school’s principal or RISD’s Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Schools.
