Parents' group sues over BPS exam school admissions, alleging discrimination against white students
Related : Advertisement 'The Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause guarantees every qualified Boston student an equal opportunity to compete for a place in an Exam School, regardless of race,' the lawsuit says. 'The Tier System was implemented to limit that opportunity for members of a particular racial group. It must be struck down.' A spokesperson for Boston Public Schools declined to comment. This isn't the first time the Boston Parent Coalition for Academic Excellence or the law firm that represents it, Pacific Legal Foundation, filed a lawsuit against Boston Public Schools over exam school admission practices. In 2020, the School Committee voted to temporarily award seats based on grades and zip code, and the same group and law firm sued over that system as well. The Supreme Court ultimately declined to hear the case last year, with one justice noting the system was no longer in use. Related : Advertisement Prior to the pandemic, admission to the three exam schools, Boston Latin School, Boston Latin Academy, and the John D. O'Bryant School of Math and Science, was determined in a citywide process based solely on grades and an entrance exam score. Under the current admissions system, which has been repeatedly Students apply to enter the schools in grades 7 and 9, and must have at least a B average to be eligible. Applicants receive a composite score out of 100 based on their grades and entrance exam scores. Students can get 15 bonus points if they live in public housing, are homeless, or are in foster care, or a varying number of points if they attend schools where at least 40 percent of students are low-income. The school-based bonus points vary by tier from three points to 10. The wealthiest tier, Tier 4 (or Tier 8 in an earlier version of the system), has tended to have more applicants than the other tiers, but all tiers get the same number of seats. That means admission is particularly competitive in Tier 4, which included many tracts in neighborhoods such as West Roxbury and Beacon Hill. Because the city's white students are concentrated in Tier 4, they have lower odds of admission to their schools of choice. 'This was done ... to limit the proportion of white students who could get into the exam schools,' said Pacific Legal senior attorney Chris Kieser in an interview. 'And it's been remarkably effective.' Advertisement Under the new system, the proportion of Grade 7 exam school invites going to white students declined from 40 percent for School Year 2020-21 to a low of 24 percent for 2023-24. According to the lawsuit, in three out of four years of the new system, white students have made up a smaller share of admitted students than of applicants. The percentage of admitted students who were white has been lower than the share of applicants. Related : Parties to the suit include parents of white and Asian children in Tier 4 who either already applied and were denied admission to one or all exam schools, or parents of white and Asian children who plan to apply in future years. The Pacific Legal Foundation has represented parents in a number of related cases alleging discrimination in efforts to diversify elite public schools around the country. Last year, the Supreme Court also declined to hear a case it brought against Virginia's Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, another elite, application-based public high school that recently overhauled admissions. But some conservative members of the court have written that these policies violate their 2023 decision Christopher Huffaker can be reached at

Indian Railways Introduce Multi-Layered Security To Curb Cheating In Recruitment Exam
Last Updated: An official statement indicated that this major initiative aims to maintain integrity and ensure fairness by achieving a 'zero cheating cases' record for the June 2025 RRB exams. The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) is implementing stricter anti-fraud measures, which include mandatory face recognition and the extensive use of mobile jammers at all its exam centres throughout India, reported Mint. The move aims to uphold integrity and ensure fairness by achieving a 'zero cheating cases" record for the June 2025 RRB exams, according to an official statement. An advanced Aadhar e-KYC-based photo validation system will be introduced that will allow real-time face matching during the registration process on exam day. Photographs obtained directly from the candidate's Aadhar e-KYC will be compared with the images captured during the initial application submission and again at the exam centre registration by the relevant authorities, the report added. This multi-layered verification process aims to incorporate an additional 'post-exam scrutiny" layer, rendering impersonation virtually impossible, it stated. Alongside biometric security, the RRB will deploy mobile jammers at all 7,000 exam centres nationwide. The goal of the process is to eliminate any attempts at cheating through electronic devices such as mobile phones, which have posed significant challenges in conducting large-scale examinations. These reforms were implemented four months after the Railway Ministry decided to assign the responsibility of conducting exams to the RRB. This decision came after the CBI arrested 26 railway officials in Uttar Pradesh's Mughal Sarai for allegedly leaking exam papers. Meanwhile, the Railway Ministry has released the RRB Exam Calendar 2025. Some of the top recruitment exams that the RRB conducts include RRB Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP), RRB Junior Engineer (JE), RRB NTPC, RRB Technician, RRB Group D, Paramedical Staff and Ministerial and Isolated Categories. This official calendar sets the timeline for evaluating vacancies, uploading them to OIRMS (Online Indent and Recruitment Management System) and issuing recruitment notifications (CEN). As per the calendar, the NTPC Graduate (Level 4,5,6), NTPC Under Graduate (Level 2,3), Junior Engineer, Depot Material Superintendent, Chemical & Metallurgical Assistant, Paramedical Category vacancy assessment deadline is September 30. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
