The Texas Education Agency is investigating whether 50 North Texas teachers were involved in a statewide teacher certification scheme.The TEA released a list of the North Texas teachers whose certifications were flagged due to suspicious test-taking activities in Houston. At least six are Dallas ISD employees."A total of six employees were confirmed. The district is fully cooperating with TEA during their investigative process," Dallas ISD spokesperson Robyn Harris said.
The TEA found that those who failed the certification test would pass after taking it in Houston."We know at least 400 tests were taken, and 200 teachers were falsely certified," Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement.Ogg said much of the money went to Vincent Grayson, a longtime basketball coach at Houston ISD and the alleged ringleader of the scheme.
