A former CPS investigator sued after claiming she was fired for refusing to alter findings in sensitive probes.

Kelly Tarrant, a former Chicago Public Schools investigator, has sued the district, alleging she was wrongfully terminated after refusing to alter findings in politically and racially sensitive investigations. She claims pressure to change reports, retaliation including a negative performance review, and interference from high-level officials and outside figures. Her work involved probes into school officials, including principals Abdul Muhammad and Gerald Morrow, with findings pointing to procedural issues and misuse of facilities. Tarrant says she faced retaliation after reporting misconduct and filing complaints, and claims her firing violated whistleblower and anti-discrimination laws. CPS has declined to comment on the pending litigation.
