I've been on every side of teaching and testing. What teachers should fear is not low scores, but the appearance, even the appearance, of cheating. Administrators need the same priority. With accurate results, program decisions will be valid. The greatest problems with cheating is the lesson it teaches. And believe me, every kid learns it.
