The letter follows several high-profile staffing changes by Davis this week in the wake of a searing state report, which detailed widespread test cheating in 44 APS schools and said ex-schools chief Beverly Hall presided over a culture of cover-ups and obstruction during her 12-year tenure.
Davis on Monday accepted the resignation of APS human resources chief Millicent Few, who the report said "illegally ordered" the destruction or alteration of documents and made false statements. Davis also replaced four area superintendents and two principals -- and promised more to come.
In the letter, which began arriving in mailboxes Friday, Davis said the district will accept resignations Monday through Wednesday during normal office hours. APS spokesman
