ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -
The Georgia State Board of Education recommended that the governor should not suspend Atlanta School Board members during a meeting on Wednesday afternoon.
The board postponed the hearing in July, pending the outcome of an investigation into the district by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
SACS recently announced Atlanta Public Schools had met six criteria necessary to get off probation.
"We have become a board that operates with one vision and one voice," said School Board President Brenda Muhammad. "We are humbled by the errors of our past."
Muhammad, School Superintendent Erroll Davis and several school board members testified before the state board.
"I am very proud of what the board has achieved," said Davis.
Infighting escalated among board members this year after an investigation found cheating on standardized tests in Atlanta schools.
"We will not place this system in jeopardy ever again," said Muhammad. "We are revived and we are renewed."
The State Board of Education voted unanimously to recommend Gov. Nathan Deal take no action against Atlanta board members.
