help an educator facing prison time & cancer!
ATN has advocated hand in hand with the educators of the infamous Atlanta Public School Cheating Scandal since 2021.
A pivotal decision by the judge in late June means that 5 of these educators will not have to face prison, but they do have to pay thousands of dollars in fines and serve years of community service.
