Chicago Public Schools Lie And Cheat

Chicago public schools keep phantom students on their rolls:
Terrence Figures was enrolled as a senior last year at B.E.S.T. High School, formerly known as James H. Bowen High School, but he says he dropped out. That is when he became a "ghost student."

"I was never there," Figures said.

Spring 2009 attendance records for Figures show he was marked as "present" on days that he says he was not in school.

"That was a lie because I was off working," Figures said.
