Seven APS employees step down in scandal and other updates
- One principal and six teachers implicated in the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal walked away from their jobs this week, opting not to fight after the district offered a three-day grace period that ended Wednesday.
- APS Superintendent Erroll Davis told the AJC the number of employees accused by state investigators of cheating has changed slightly. He said a lawyer told him that the state removed one name from its list of 178 accused of cheating, but added two others, bringing the current total to 179.
- Butler-Grant claimed then-Dobbs Elementary School Principal Dana Evans got her fired after she provided information about cheating to investigators.
- DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James said he has opened a criminal investigation involving five APS schools named in the report, all of which are located in his jurisdiction.
- The cheating investigation is spilling over into the state’s annual assessment of whether schools made "adequate yearly progress," a key benchmark of the federal No Child Left Behind, state officials said
- State Sen. Vincent Fort, D-Atlanta, called for the resignation of Sam Williams, president of the Metro Atlanta Chamber, the region’s premier business organization. Fort and other community leaders accused Williams of playing a role trying to cover up the test cheating in the Atlanta Public Schools.
