Pamela Cleveland, a Dunbar Elementary School teacher accused of erasing student answers on the 2009 Criterion-Referenced Competency Test, resigned today, said Keith Bromery, spokesman for Atlanta Public Schools.
Cleveland was scheduled to face a tribunal today that was considering a variety of charges against her, including willful neglect of duty, immorality and violating district policies on ethics and integrity.
Cleveland's class was flagged in 2009 for having an exceptionally high number of wrong-to-right answer changes on the CRCT. She was the second APS educator in as many days to resign in the face of cheating allegations.
Sheila Maxwell, a Finch Elementary testing coordinator, resigned before her Tuesday hearing, according to school officials.
