Beverly L. Hall, the former Atlanta schools superintendent whose national acclaim as an education reformer dissolved amid the ignominy of a cheating scandal, died Monday, March 2, 2015 of breast cancer. Hall, who led the Atlanta Public Schools from 1999 to 2011, still faced criminal charges for her alleged role in falsifying students scores on state achievement tests. Hall had strongly denied wrongdoing, but her lawyers said in March she was too ill to withstand a trial. If convicted, she could have received a prison sentence as long as 45 years for racketeering and other offenses.
