Last Teacher In Atlanta Cheating Scandal Gets Year In Prison
The final teacher to face sentencing in the Atlanta schools test cheating case has been ordered to serve a year in prison and four months on probation.
Former elementary school teacher Shani Robinson was sentenced by a Fulton County Superior Court judge Tuesday. She was among 11 educators convicted in a conspiracy to inflate student scores on standardized tests in the Atlanta public school system.
Robinson’s mother pleaded for leniency, noting Robinson has a 4-month-old son, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Judge Jerry Baxter allowed Robinson to remain free on bond while she appeals. He estimated it may be three years before she goes to prison.
Two of the 11 convicted educators were sentenced to probation after admitting to their crimes. The rest got one to three years in prison.
