I agree with her too.
This became more evident in an article about discipline in the Times Union.
Betty Burney was quoted as saying, Some School Board members have publicly questioned whether there is pressure to under-report student misconduct.
“I heard from a few principals in the past that they can’t be seen on their report card as having an uptick in discipline violations,” board Chairwoman Betty Burney said. “The superintendent should simply go out and make a formal statement to all principals that is not the district’s expectation.”
District officials insist they’ve never told teachers or principals not to write up or not to suspend students for misconduct.
I don’t think the district formally tell principals that either, but the key word is formally.
No they say things like, promotions may not come through, evaluations may suffer and jobs might be lost
This is what administrators tell teachers any way.
