DOE drops tutoring program
diploma awarded 78 years later

DOE drops tutoring program The Ohio Department of Education is dropping a federally funded tutoring program, hit with allegations of fraud and wrongdoing.
The state had overseen the "supplemental educational services" program for students at low-performing schools. The state auditor began investigating after allegations of fraudulent billing and tutoring in unsafe conditions.
Now, districts will decide which tutors to hire and what services are needed, but the state will stop evaluating tutoring groups.
Federal funds set aside for the tutoring could be redirected to give low-performing facilities a longer school day and provide targeted intervention.
The Columbus Dispatch reports the change was enabled by Ohio's recent waiver from provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind law. The waiver gives Ohio more flexibility with using federal funds and tailored solutions to education problems.
Diploma awarded 78 years later A woman in Ohio who quit school during the Depression finally has a high school diploma eight decades later.
Officials from a high school in suburban Cleveland awarded an honorary diploma to the 97-year-old this week. Ann Colagiovanni wore a white cap and gown to a special ceremony.
Seeing her name on the diploma brought tears to her eyes. The diploma she received from Shaker Heights High School is dated June of 1934, the year she would have graduated. Family members tell WJW-TV in Cleveland that she quit high school when she was 17 to work in her father's meat market. They say during that time working was more important than getting your education. But they didn't know how much getting the diploma meant to her. |
