D.C. Public Schools officials are investigating accusations that the principal at McKinley Technology High School assigned phony grades to seniors, according to school officials. “We are aware of allegations regarding Principal [David] Pinder. The allegations are part of an ongoing investigation,” DCPS spokesman Fred Lewis said.

Current and former McKinley employees told The Washington Examiner that Pinder instructed data clerks to doctor transcripts for several years at the Northeast magnet school.
