LANTA - Special prosecutors filed a motion in court Monday moing seeking a temporary restraining order against the Atlanta school system.

The state wants Atlanta Public Schools to stop some of their inteal investigations. Monday afteoon, Atlanta school board members met to discuss litigation involving the district's cheating investigation.

The Atlanta school board voted Monday night to put their inteal investigation into cheating on the CRCTs on hold.

The move comes after state investigators got a judge to issue a cease and desist order against the district.

State appointed investigators argue school administrators were interfering with their work and intimidating teachers and other potential witnesses.

The board chairman said they will step aside and let investigators do their jobs.
