Uniondale, NEW YORK




June 28, 2007 - Uniondale parents flocked to the district's school board meeting to complain about the Attorney General's investigation of allegations that one or more of the district's employees tampered with Regents math exams given in the 2006-07 school year.

[School board president Raymond] Rhoden said he and other board members empathized with the dozens of parents at the meeting, held at Uniondale High School. "We're feeling the pain you're feeling," he said.
From Newsday: "The entire Uniondale school system has been placed on academic probation due to evidence of test tampering -- the biggest scandal of its sort in recent state history. The tests in question -- last year's exams and possibly the year before -- were the Regents Math A and Math B high school exams and the State Mathematics Assessments for grades 3 through 8. No suspects have yet been named in the case, though the state attorney general's office continues to investigate."
