Aug. 23, 2011

From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The Atlanta public school system is casting a wide net to help prosecutors search for any scrap of information in their investigation into alleged cheating on tests. All 3,000 teachers in the system are under orders to sign a document in connection with a recent subpoena issued by a Fulton County grand jury. The subpoena demands, among other things, copies of "any document, communication or complaint made by any person" concerning scores on Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests going back to 1999. A report in July accused 178 district employees of cheating on standardized tests in 2009.
