The Lens has been reporting on alleged grade-fixing issues at John F. Kennedy High School for months. Recently, the state confirmed that the school had inappropriately used online credit recovery programs.

Kennedy used a program called GradPoint. Other schools use different programs.

The programs are intended to be used for makeup work after a student fails a course. But Kennedy was allegedly having students use GradPoint to take classes for the first time.

In some cases, Kennedy failed to provide teachers to supervise the online courses, according to a recent lawsuit. Students couldn’t earn credit for courses they had taken at home without an instructor.
