Mary Lou Callahan said she was not aware of any students being denied college acceptance or financial aid because of the school's mistakes.
Palmer High School.PALMER – Grade point averages that were incorrectly calculated at Palmer High School had no negative impact on college acceptance or financial aid prospects for six seniors who inquired about them, according to Principal Mary Lou Callahan.
Callahan told the School Committee on Wednesday that the college officials working on admissions and financial aid do their own calculations of applicants’ grade point averages and assured her that no Palmer students were denied acceptance or financial aid because of the mistake.
School Committee member Gary Blanchette told Callahan that the mistake and the failure to notify parents or the School Committee about the mistake for two months were unacceptable.
“It’s appalling,” Blanchette said.
