Investigators say more than 100 educators should face scrutiny or punishment after they found evidence of them cheating for students on a statewide achievement test at 58 schools in Atlanta.
An investigative panel released a summary of its findings Monday to Atlanta Public Schools officials after months of probing allegations that teachers changed students' answers on standardized tests. It did not name the educators suspected of cheating, but many could face sanctions from the state — from being put on probation to losing their teaching license permanently.
The review showed that most of the teachers — 78 of the 109 listed — worked at only a dozen schools. The report says that group of schools needs systemic changes because of "school-wide institutional issues."
