Photo Gallery of Indicted Cascade Area Teachers and Administrators

These are the photos that these once revered educators and administrators never thought they would take. Thirty five individuals in total have been charged, fingerprinted, and released on bond, for their alleged roles in the historic APS Cheating Scandal.

The defendants in this case will see a judge on Friday for arraignments, according to WSB-TV. 

In the attached video statement by current Superintendent Errol Davis, he says that APS is going to, "improve internal safeguards related to test materials," and that, he supports the, "more than 95% of our employees who were NOT implicated in the scandal."

Community members and parents have had tough words for the indicted teachers and administrators.  During the Atlanta Board of Education's scheduled meeting this past Monday they heard from a number of individuals who shared a piece of their minds with the elected board members and Superintendent Errol Davis.

Community Member:  I will remember that Mr. Sam Williams [Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce President] and the people in the community supported the former superintendent.  He and they should be in jail too, not just Ms. Hall, not just the teachers, but ya’ll too (the Board).  How could you sit here and watch the apple barrel get empty in front of your face and say nothing.  When is Ms. Hall going to turn herself in and when are you going to resign. All of you should be tossed, all of you should resign, how you can sit here and rule over this school system is sickening to me.

Community Member:  (yells) Yes! For the Kids, we got an indictment!  But the culture still exists, children can’t read.  I can say, our kids have been vindicated.  These kids have feelings.  Let’s put a moratorium on that test this year.  How dare you put anything in front of those kids that say CRCT.  Kennedy Middle was one of the worst cheating schools in the country and you don’t give them the chance to mend before you ship them to Brown.  There is a parent who says her child gets off the bus, jumps the fence and sleeps on the porch all day to get away from the chaos in the school.

APS Parent:  I have 4 kids in the APS system.  I would like to know what measures will be in place that will assure our parents in APS that this will not occur in the future?  You think our kids are in the 21st century learning, but our kids are really in 19th century learning.  More technology needs to be available.  Your schools on the south side do not have apple computers, i-pads, cameras.  I believe that SPLOST money could be used for this technology.  SPLOST money is not being built on the south side.  Things over there are not being built.

In total, DA Paul Howard said the grand jury returned a total of 65 counts against 35 defendants. APS officials named in the indictment include 13 teachers, 1 secretary, 6 principals, 7 testing coordinators, 2 assistant principals, and 5 top administrators.

Here is the list of local staff charged:

• Armstead Salters - Former teacher at Gideons Elementary School
