Atlanta school Superintendent Erroll Davis said Monday he is "understanding but impatient" with the Fulton County District Attorney's investigation into school cheating, which has been going on for about six months.
Davis said he was originally told the investigation would conclude by mid-December, but recent information requests from the district attorney to Atlanta Public Schools suggest it could be longer.
APS was asked to delay termination hearings while the investigation is ongoing. As a result, the district is paying the salaries of some 130 educators who are named in the investigation but on leave. The district attorney's office had no comment.
"I would like to get moving," Davis said. "This is costing us more money than I would like."
