Baltimore (WBFF) – How can a student miss 60 school days or more and still pass? New numbers coming out of Baltimore City Schools are showing it’s fairly common. The attendance data obtained by Fox45 News is not public. It was generated from a lawsuit filed by Baltimore resident Jovani Patterson against the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners. In the lawsuit, which was settled on November 13, Patterson alleged Baltimore City Schools failed to properly educate generations of students.
