From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Twenty-four DeKalb County (Ga.) school district employees have been removed from their positions as a result of an investigation into cheating on statewide student exams. Officials say they have referred 29 current and former employees to the state Professional Standards Commission because of “concerns that they may have been engaged in inappropriate conduct” during the administration of a 2009 exam. The employees are from nine schools: five principals, five assistant principals, and the rest are teachers.
