Panel recommends suspensions for changing test scores | ajc.com


Panel recommends suspensions for changing test scores ajc.com:

"The proposed punishment for the two DeKalb administrators would represent the first formal action taken by the state against individuals it believes changed students’ answers last summer to increase their scores.

The committee’s recommendations go before the entire commission, which meets at 9 a.m. Thursday in Atlanta.

Approval is likely. With it, former Atherton Elementary School Principal James Berry and Assistant Principal Doretha Alexander would be prohibited from working in Georgia public schools during the suspensions."
