Five Atlanta Public Schools teachers implicated in a cheating scandal will find out next week whether each will lose the license to teach. The Professional Standards Commission, which licenses Georgia educators, can choose a variety of sanctions from warning to revocation. The commission will discuss the fate of the educators at a monthly meeting Thursday. Four out of five are no longer employed by the school district, according to APS officials. In October, 11  educators accused of cheating lost their teaching certification.
