As many as nine students and former students and four other individuals suspected of being paid to assume students' identities -- and take the SAT and ACT exams on their behalf -- will surrender Tuesday, said a source close to the investigation into a cheating scandal that has enveloped Nassau County.

The expected arrests come as at least four more schools are implicated in the probe: Great Neck South High School; Roslyn High School; St. Mary's High School in Manhasset; and North Shore Hebrew Academy High School in Great Neck, according to the source.

The source would not disclose whether students from the newly implicated schools would be among those to turn themselves in Tuesday at the Nassau district attorney's office.

"Any suggestion that law enforcement officials are investigating school districts is without merit," Superintendent Dan Brenner said in the statement.

Attempts to reach St. Mary's and North Shore Hebrew Academy were unsuccessful.

Some students who prosecutors said cheated on exams cannot be charged because the tests were more than two years ago, exceeding the statute of limitations for misdemeanors.

Prosecutors in September arrested seven current and former students from Great Neck North High School, charging they are part of a cheating ring.
