Investigation Underway for Almost 50 North Texas Teachers in Statewide Test Certification Scandal

The Texas Education Agency named nearly 50 public school teachers from North Texas on Wednesday for allegedly securing fraudulent teacher certifications as part of a statewide scheme based in Houston.

The investigation began last year when the TEA observed that certain educators from various regions of the state, who had previously failed the exam, were suddenly passing it after retaking it in the Houston area.

The TEA has published a list of Texas teachers whose certifications were flagged due to questionable test-taking behaviors in Houston. Several of these teachers are employed by the Dallas and Fort Worth school districts, including Dallas ISD and Fort Worth ISD.

According to Dallas ISD spokesperson Robyn Harris, “A total of six employees were confirmed. The district is fully cooperating with TEA during their investigative process.” However, Dallas ISD did not specify whether any disciplinary measures would be imposed on the six confirmed employees. The district also refrained from commenting on the status of the other three employees identified on the TEA’s list.

Fort Worth ISD stated that it is collaborating with the TEA in relation to the investigation. In a statement, the district emphasized, “The district takes this matter seriously, is cooperating fully with TEA, and will continue to do so to address this issue thoroughly.”
