A Northside Independent School District teacher is among dozens of Texas educators under investigation by the Texas Education Agency for allegedly obtaining fraudulent certifications through a statewide cheating ring. After probing 100 educators in December in connection with the scandal, the TEA opened cases against an additional 60 teachers this week. Colin Taylor, a special education teacher at John Jay High School, is currently the only San Antonio teacher on the list.
Colin was hired by the district as a substitute teacher in September 2021 and became a special education teacher and coach in January 2022, Perez said. In October, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office announced criminal charges against five people, including three Houston ISD employees, for running a $1 million “pay-to-pass” teaching certification ring that allegedly put hundreds of unqualified teachers in classrooms across Texas.
