These may be the droids we're looking for

67 APS educators accused of cheating barred from classroom | ajc.com
A committee for the Georgia Professional Standards commission, which certified and polices educators, voted to take action against 67 Atlanta educators implicated in a widespread cheating scandal.
The committee recommended 47 teachers for two-year suspensions. One teacher was given a one-year suspension, and 19 educators in leadership positions, such as principals and testing coordinators, were recommended for revocation. The PSC as a whole will vote around noon whether to uphold the action taken by the committee. [ADDENDUM: They did.]

Well, Merry Christmas at long last.

"Educators in leadership positions, such as principals and testing coordinators"? I had no idea a "testing coordinator" was considered a leadership position. I'm guessing some of them might be just as surprised by the designation.

But you know which names I'm looking to see here, and I have no confidence they are among this 67 that the PSC is now willing to address. The big cheeses, Beverly Hall and Kathy Augustine, appear to have escaped retribution, but that leaves the four ex-SRT Directors, Sharon David-Williams, Michael Pitts, Robin Hall and Tamara "Go to Hell" Cotman. They are the ones who sanctioned and sustained the "culture of fear and intimidation" that led to 180 educators being suspended pending hearings. Many of the 180 are, if not exactly innocent, at least victims and unwilling co-conspirators. They don't deserve to have their lives ruined.

Wait a minute.

A revocation [of teaching certification] will make it difficult for an educator to work in another public school in Georgia or another state...

Wait just a damn minute. Make it difficult? I thought you had to have PSC certification to teach in public school. Make it difficult?
