SUMMARY: Dr. Lorenda Cheeks, the former testing coordinator at Jackson Public Schools, is fighting to get her job back and defend her reputation against allegations of cheating. Cheeks, along with 16 other school officials, was fired in the aftermath of a cheating scandal on state tests. During a due process hearing, Cheeks learned that she had been terminated for not finding five seating charts for eighth-grade students that investigators wanted. Her attorney argues that this is unfair, as all other seating charts from the 52 tested schools were accounted for. State Senator Sollie Norwood believes Cheeks should get her job back or have her credibility restored. Jackson Public Schools declined to comment, stating that they are unable to disclose details regarding personnel matters.
