ATLANTA — The Atlanta school board has voted not to renew the contract for Dr. Meria Carstarphen, who has led the school system since 2014 in the wake of a devastating testing scandal that generated international headlines. Carstarphen’s contract will not be renewed beyond June 30, 2020.
Carstarphen was hired to take over from former superintendent Beverly Hall, whose administration oversaw a massive effort to rig the results of the state’s Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests. Dozens of teachers and administrators were charged in the scheme.
