The CRCT cheating scandal ensnaring four public schools has sparked a rule change. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Dekalb County School officials have tightened tracking procedures, so that answer sheets can no longer be kept over the weekend.
The test scandal erupted when the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement reported Wednesday that someone deliberately changed students’ answers last summer on fifth grade standardized math retests at schools in Fulton, Glynn, Dekalb and Atlanta school systems. The scores improved dramatically with the changes.
Federal funding for public schools in Georgia hinges on the scores of the standardized test.
