Two former testing coordinators and a former school improvement specialist pleaded guilty Friday in the Atlanta Public Schools test-cheating scandal.
These pleas bring to 11 the number of educators who have admitted to wrongdoing in the massive case. None of the defendants has received prison time for their roles in the scandal.
Those who entered pleas: former testing coordinator Francis Mack from D.H. Stanton Elementary School and Sheridan Rogers, who served as testing coordinator at Gideons Elementary; and former school improvement specialist Tameka Goodson of Kennedy Middle School.
All three women pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor charge of obstruction and were sentenced to 12 months on probation and ordered to perform 250 hours of community service. They were also given first offender treatment, meaning if they abide by the terms of their probation, their convictions will be erased.
