ATLANTA - A Fulton County superior court judge orders an Atlanta school employee to cooperate with state investigators in the CRCT cheating investigation.

White Elementary School para-professional Cynthia Harris was ordered by Judge Craig Schwall to cooperate with investigators.

Harris had filed a motion to stop a subpoena from state investigators. Harris' attoeys said the subpoena was "unreasonable and oppressive."

Former attoey general Mike Bowers and former district attoet Bob Wilson have interviewed 940 teachers, para-professionals and administrators. They are trying to find out if cheating occurred on the 2009 CRCT.

Bower says any "teacher and below who tells us the truth and cooperates, we're not going to prosecute them. We'll give them a written guarantee."

Harrris says she does know anything, saying, " I can't tell them what I don't know."

Harris says she walked the halls and took children to the bathroom when they needed it during the testing.

Harris' interview with investigators is scheduled for next Friday.
