No, this has nothing to do with Boston Latin. The Globe reintroduces us to Queon Jackson.

The last we'd heard of him, BPS had put the Madison Park headmaster on leave in 2013 due to a Secret Service investigation into credit-card fraud. He was never charged. BPS never gave him another job, but kept paying him - and he used the $375,000 he earned to start an artisanal ice-pop concern in Delaware - where he told a magazine he moved because of a relative's health issues. Only now he's back in Boston, or, at least back on the official BPS payroll as a "special assistant" in the Bolling Building.

The state released MCAS scores yesterday and among the winners is Jeremiah Burke High School, which was taken off the state's list of "underperfoming" schools that are "among lowest achieving and least improving schools" - and subject to possible state takeover if they don't shape up.

The Elihu Greenwood Elementary School and English High School, however, remain on this "Level 4" list - just one step up from the lowest possible ranking. And the Henry Grew Elementary School in Hyde Park and Dorchester Academy were added to the list.
