Naperville Central High School administrators are looking into allegations that some students used cell phones to cheat, according to a letter from the school's principal and a report in the school's student newspaper.
Principal Bill Wiesbrook wrote in a letter to parents this week that “concerns about student cheating” were recently brought to the attention of school staff by other students.The letter does not discuss details of the allegations, or whether the students were disciplined.
The school's student newspaper, The Central Times, cited Wiesbrook in a report that school administrators had found evidence of cheating on the cell phones of some students enrolled in a class that allows use of electronic devices for some activities. Some students admitted to the offense, the newspaper reported.
The cheating allegedly occurred in an AP macroeconomics class that is part of a “Bring Your Own Device” program, “which allows students to use their cell phones or other electronic devices to supplement classroom activities,” according to the student newspaper.
A spokeswoman for Naperville Community Unit School District 203 provided a copy of Wiesbrook's letter Saturday but declined to comment further.
