from www.chicagotribune.com – Sara Glashagel, a special education teacher at Antioch Community High School accused of using a computer to improperly inflate grades for football players and other students, resigned this morning, School District 117 officials said.

Co-superintendent Mike Nekritz, who said he would have sought her firing had she not quit, said Glashagel did not explain her alleged action in her letter of resignation. He said that from the district’s perspective, the matter was concluded.

“As far as we’re concerned, the information was clear,” he said. “All evidence from the police and through our investigation says it was one employee acting alone.”

Glashagel is the wife of Antioch’s head football coach, who told authorities he didn’t know what she was doing. She has been charged with tampering with computer records, a misdemeanor, and is due in court Dec. 9.

Authorities say Glashagel used an administrative password to electronically change grades for 64 students, 41 of whom were football players. Some of the students were academically ineligible to play sports, but no ineligible athlete ever took the field, Nekritz said.
