APS administrators sue district for millions in hearing dispute | www.wsbtv.com
The lawyer for three Atlanta Public Schools administrators says his clients are suing the district and its superintendent for millions because they didn't get the hearings they were promised.
Attorney George Lawson said he’s been fighting to save the reputation of those administrators for the past ten months. Letters from APS Superintendent Erroll Davis charge Tamara Cotman, Michael Pitts and Sharon Davis Williams with incompetency, insubordination and willful neglect of duties in the 2009 CRCT cheating test scandal.
The letter scheduled a hearing for them and their attorney last year, but the district requested delays twice.
...Now, those administrators have been notified their employment ends June 30.

They're suing APS? They haven't bled enough cash out of the system over the last decade? Big brass ones, that takes.

It's a little late to save their reputations. Everyone who's ever worked at APS knows who they are and how they work. These are three of the four regional assistant superintendents -- School Reform Team Directors, or SRT Directors -- at the heart of the Hall administration's "culture of fear and intimidation." Their guilt is unquestionable. But because they had the sense not to issue threats in writing, and because those who could testify against them have so far remained intimidated into silence, they may yet walk.

Please, Mr Davis, Professional Standards Commission, Mr District Attorney...don't let this happen. We're counting on you.

In case you've forgotten, here's the Bowers/Wilson "Special Investigation into CRCT Cheating at APS" in three parts, as archived by the AJC. Cotman, Pitts and Williams are all dealt with in Volume 3.

Volume 1: Overview, Interviews, School summaries
Volume 2: School summaries, cont.
Volume 3: Conclusions: Why cheating occurred and cover-up allegations

Guilty, guilty, guilty!

LATER: I've just learned that the delay arises from APS waiting for the DA to release evidence before seating these three before a tribunal. I hope they haven't waited too late.
