| LONG ISLAND School official accused in Regents exam help 6/28/2005 NEW YORK (AP) - An assistant principal at a Long Island high school pleaded not guilty Monday to a charge of official misconduct after he allegedly gave his son the answers to a state exam on world history. Officials said Isben Jeudy, 40, was responsible for keeping the questions and answers to the year-end Board of Regents exam secure as assistant principal at Jericho High School. Last Tuesday, an official at a high school in Elwood - about 20 miles east of Jericho - discovered that Jeudy's son, Jerrell Jeudy, 16, had blue writing on his hand while taking the exam. The writing turned out to be the answers to about 35 multiple-choice questions. Elwood officials then contacted the superintendent of the Jericho schools, who found that the answer key, which was not supposed to be opened until the exam was over, had already been unsealed. Jeudy had already submitted his resignation as vice principal to take a principal's job in another school district, in Uniondale. That district said it will consult with its legal counsel about Jeudy's fate. http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050628/4058804.asp |
