The group got together in Moner's office each afternoon during the testing period. The
"chosen ones" were Melba Smith, Alma Keen, Angela Bennett, Tyrone Hankerson, Hardy Scott, Jaquelyn Parks, and Milagros Moner. They met in the windowless office and locked the door. They took the test themselves and changed the answer sheets when the student's answer was wrong. They would change the tests of only the grade they taught, but not just their own students. Some teachers changed the tests each morning in their classrooms. The "chosen ones" would change the tests in the afternoons and during the makeup testing days. Parks believes that the teachers that were not directly involved knew what was going on. There were other teachers changing test answers in their own classrooms.

Tyrone Hankerson taught fourth grade and admitted to his involvement with cheating in 2009. ILS Milagros Moner told Hankerson that they needed to "clean up" the tests. He knew that "clean up the tests" meant to change answers from wrong to right on the CRCT. Hankerson told Moner he was not interested and Moner responded that Principal Davis wanted him to cheat. Moner kept asking and eventually Hankerson said that he might help. He went to Moner' s office and Jacquelyn Parks, Karen Batiste, Milagros Moner, and Alma Keen were there with the tests. He saw them change answers but says he did not assist.
Other teachers at the school knew what was going on. Leslie Badger called him once and
said that she knew they were changing CRCT answers in Moner' s office.
