ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -
The former deputy superintendent of Atlanta's public schools will find out Monday whether she gets to keep her new job.
The Desoto Independent School District, in a suburb of Dallas, TX, is scheduled to vote on whether to keep Kathy Augustine as its new school chief.
The board selected Augustine as superintendent last spring. Her job is now in doubt following revelations that she is a key figure in the investigation stemming from allegations of widespread cheating in Atlanta public schools.
Sandra Wheeler, a member of that board, was angry.
"We should've been notified about that right up front." Wheeler said. "If I'm going to interview someone who's under investigation, that should've been told to us before we even got to her."
Georgia investigators have accused Augustine of being one of the top administrators to cover up cheating. One hundred and eighty teachers and principals are also accused.
According to a report by investigators Augustine was responsible for aiding and abetting then superintendent Beverly Hall in falsifying, misrepresenting or erroneously reporting student evaluations on the 2009 criterion-referenced competency tests.
The Georgia State School Board will hold meetings beginning Tuesday to decide whether to remove school board members in Atlanta and Coffee County.
