System officials said Thursday that 24 employees - including teachers, principals and assistant principals - have be reassigned to duties outside their schools pending outcome of the state's investigation. The 97,000-student district is part of a statewide probe into possible cheating on 2009 standardized tests at 20 percent of Georgia's elementary and middle schools.
A state audit released last year that showed unusual numbers of erasures on tests at 370 schools across Georgia.
DeKalb officials notified parents of students affected and those students will get extra help.
School employees could lose their teaching licenses if it is found they cheated on the tests.
