Atlanta Public Schools educators sentenced

 ATLANTA (CBS46) -

Ten Atlanta teachers and administrators who changed answers on students' standardized tests were sentenced Tuesday.

Earlier this month, 11 of 12 educators were found guilty of racketeering, in addition to charges ranging from theft by taking to making false statements.

Only one of the 12, Dessa Curb, was found not guilty on all charges against her.

Monday, Judge Jerry Baxter gave the convicted educators and opportunity to meet with Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard to work out a plea deal to avoid jail time.The deal states that the defendants will take responsibility for their actions by admitting guilt, apologize to the community and waive the right to an appeal.
