A Kentucky case in point is the ACT cheating scandal that broke in Perry County almost exactly one year ago.

That cheating allegation was confirmed in early December 2010.

It’s almost October 2011. We are still waiting for any action to be taken against any of the school personnel involved. The cheaters are still in the Perry County school system, still teaching students.

If this were a charter school, those cheaters would be gone.
