Community Protests Northville Teachers' Resignations

Two special education teachers, Jennifer Warnock and Lynn Traxler, left their positions at Northville High School because of allegations that they told students to intentionally do poorly on standardized tests. 

Northville students and parents, who thought the teachers were not treated fairly, protested outside the school board meeting Tuesday at Hillside Middle School. The district's actions and the community's response has attracted widespread attention.

The Northville Public Schools board of education accepted the teachers' resignations by a 6-0 vote at a meeting earlier this month.

The district investigated the situation in the fall after some students in the special education department scored significantly low on the NWEA test. The teachers, who were placed on paid administrative leave, were accused of telling students to perform poorly on the test in the fall but do well on the test in the spring to make the teachers look good, ClickOnDetroit.com reported.

School officials are looking for their replacements.
