Joseph D. Carruth, who was fired by the Camden school board, had alleged that a school official had pressured him to alter state tests to raise his students' scores. He had been a principal at Dr. Charles E. Brimm Medical Arts High for two years.
Ex-Camden principal releases tape
The following are phone conversations that former Camden principal Joseph D. Carruth says he secretly recorded with Camden School Board President Philip E. Freeman. Carruth said the first call was taped on June 2, 2005, and the second one on June 3, 2005.
Carruth released the tape Monday in what he says was an attempt to clear his name. A report by a district investigator discounted his allegations that a superior had pressured him to cheat in early 2005.
Freeman said that he was unaware of the tape and did not recall talking to Carruth about specific cheating allegations.
