APS Educators Receive Sanctions
The cases of nineteen Atlanta Public Schools educators implicated in the cheating scandal went before the Georgia Professional Standards Commission.
At stake are the educator’s licenses to teach in Georgia.
Based on the full commission’s findings those 19 educators will not hold a valid teaching certification.
Paul Shaw is the commission’s director of educator ethics.
“Nine teachers received 2-year suspensions and the 10 administrators received revocation as a sanction, “said Shaw.
For those who licenses were revoked, Shaw says there is no appeal with the commission however; the educators can appeal to an administrative law judge.
There are 18 members on the commission and their final decision is based on evidence that connects an educator to unethical conduct.
Some of the evidence comes from the investigation currently underway by Fulton County District attorney Paul Howard’s office.
But this APS group, says Shaw, won’t be the last the commission needs to make recommendations about.
There are forty-eight APS educators waiting for a decision regarding their teaching license.
The names of the educators are not made public.
