3 revoked, 8 suspended so far

8 Atlanta teacher licenses suspended, 3 revoked in scandal
[Atlanta Business Chronicle] On Thursday, eight teachers were given a two-year suspension of their teaching certificates, while three administrators had their certificates revoked, the station reported.
The names of those disciplined were not disclosed.
If an educator chooses to accept the actions of the PSC, that educator's name and record would become public. If an educator chooses to fight, the educator's name would not be revealed until the attorney general's office assigns a judge to the case, WXIA explained.
It's no end of frustrating that they haven't announced names yet. But then, I might not be the most impartial of observers. Some of these people I'm wanting to see serve some actual jail time.

Would it be legal, I wonder, for any of these "educators" to seek employment elsewhere while they run out APS's game clock? I'm sure there are some young people elsewhere whose lives they could ruin before the Georgia Professional Standards Commission moves itself to actually commit to anything publicly.

Another thing that bothers me is that I know, know, that there are some "educators" still on duty in APS schools who are still doing business the same way, through manipulation and intimidation... which means that the game hasn't really changed yet at APS.

But it's a start.
