Atlanta Public Schools announced Thursday it has placed an interim physical education teacher and football coach at Grady High School while the school system’s investigation of ineligible players continues.

Lee Hannah III moved from Mays High School, where he was a P.E. coach and assistant football coach, to Grady High as a temporary replacement for former head coach Ronnie Millen Jr., who was reassigned to Atlanta Public Schools' South Region Office last month, according to records obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution through an open records request.

The school system is investigating whether more than 20 football players or their parents falsified documents to enroll at Grady High even though they live outside the school’s geographic area.
