The former superintendent and almost three dozen other educators were indicted in a cheating scandal Friday. Former Superintendent Beverly Hall has been charged with racketeering, making false statements and theft. Prosecutors allege that she received bonuses tied to falsified test scores. Fulton County D.A. Paul Howard described a third grader who failed a benchmark exam, received the worst score in her reading class in 2006 and was held back, then passed a separate assessment test that was faked. The girl's now 15 and reading at a fifth-grade level. "I have a 15-year-old now who is behind in achieving her goal of becoming what she wants to be when she graduates," said her mother, Justina Collins.
