Nebraska suspends teacher's license for violating test rules

(AP) — Nebraska officials suspended a former Crawford teacher's license for a year because she violated state testing rules last spring.

The Scottsbluff Star-Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1S9yxcd ) the state Board of Education unanimously approved the suspension of Ramona Hourt's certificate Friday.

The Nebraska Professional Practices Commission determined that Hourt violated rules for the state writing test by taking pictures of students' computer screens, discussing answers with students and making writing suggestions during the test.
