Teacher quits after accused of inflating grades

The Antioch High School teacher accused of computer tampering and changing the grades of dozens of students has resigned.
Sara Glashagel, 27, of Elk Grove Village was placed on administrative leave and could have faced further action after the school district's co-superintendent meets with the school board after Thanksgiving.
As it stands, Glashagel faces up to a year in jail, fines up to $2500 or both if she's convicted on a computer tampering charge.


The Chicago Tribune reports Antioch Community High School special education teacher Sara Glashagel resigned Wednesday morning. She has been charged with tampering with computer records, a misdemeanor punishable by a year in jail. She’s free on bond and due in court Dec. 9.


Glashagel has said she intends to fight the charge.


Police say she used an administrative password to inflate grades for 64 students, 41 of them football players. Her husband is the football coach.


The Illinois High School Association says a preliminary investigation shows that no ineligible players participated in any games because of the allegedly changed grades.
