Kentucky Continuous Improvement Summit: Keynote Speaker's History Raises Questions

A former Buffalo Public Schools principal accused of manipulating grades in the New York district has been chosen to be the keynote speaker at a continuous improvement summit held by the Kentucky Department of Education. Teachers say while Marck Abraham was principal at McKinley High School, he reportedly pressured them to change student grades, calling into question the method he outlines in his book about how he raised the graduation rate for Black male students. An event page for the 2024 Kentucky Continuous Improvement Summit sponsored by the Kentucky Department of Education and accreditation company Cognia says it will provide professional development to school leaders.
