Saying goodbye, Hall cites APS wrongdoing
Superintendent Beverly Hall, retiring next month from the Atlanta Public Schools, distributed a farewell address via video to district employees Thursday, acknowledging for the first time that evidence supports allegations of cheating on standardized achievement tests.
Hall, who has been questioned at least twice in connection with a state criminal investigation, did not address her own culpability. But she suggested that others in the district will soon face "aggressive" punishment.
More to come.
