County Confirms 'Test Improprieties'

An investigation by the Glynn County school district has confirmed "test improprieties" at an elementary school that is part of a statewide probe into allegations of cheating on standardized tests. District spokesman Jim Weidhaas said Wednesday the district has identified the employees who had direct access to the tests administered at Burroughs-Molette Elementary last summer. He says the employees' names will be submitted to the state for further investigation. Weidhaas declined to identify the employees because it is a personnel matter. A state audit released earlier this month showed a high number of answers had been changed on the fifth-grade math tests at four elementary schools after students turned them in last summer.
