ATLANTA, GA -- Close to three dozen people will be targeted for indictment starting Wednesday in the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal case.
State investigators initially implicated about 180 educators in the case. But they've narrowed it down to about 35 names. They're described as people who either completely refused to cooperate with investigators -- or who talked to investigators and tried to mislead them.
The grand jury is expected to spend three days interviewing witnesses in the APS cheating case, in which educators admitted changing scores on a student performance measuring test called the CRCT.
"There are a number of witness who have agreed to testify in this case," said Douglas County district attorney David McDade, who interviewed a half-dozen teachers who admitted to having an "erasure party" at a teacher's house. During the party, McDade says the teachers took students error-ridden tests, and changed the answers to enhance the scores, and the score of their school.
"To prepare for the examination of the conduct that occurred in my county, it became immediately clear to me there's more than sufficient evidence to move forward with criminal charges," McDade said.
The charges could reach the top -- including former Superintendent Beverly Hall, who ran the district for ten years and retired after the scandal was revealed; Hall's number two, Kathy Augustine; Michael Pitts, an area superintendent; And Millicent Few, former director of human resources. All of them have denied ordering cheating or even knowing about it.
