The cheating scandal in Atlanta’s public schools is alleged to be widespread and include many of the system’s top officials. About three dozen have been indicted in a scandal prosecutors say resulted in teachers and administrators reaping big rewards for high test scores that were fake. Today they start to meet the judge.
Thirty-five former Atlanta public school employees were named in a 65-count indictment returned Friday alleging racketeering, false statements and writings and other charges related to alleged cheating on standardized test scores and the covering up of those actions.
Retired Atlanta school Superintendent Beverly Hall, some of her top deputies, principals, teachers and a secretary have until Tuesday to turn themselves in. Once processed in the jail, they will have to go before a magistrate, where bond is discussed. The grand jury said Hall’s bond should be set at $7.5 million, but the judge can set a lesser amount.
So where is the outrage from progressives?
