After charges were announced against administrators and test proctors allegedly involved in a fraudulent teacher certification scheme, state agencies said they would follow law enforcement's lead to ensure teachers are properly licensed.
The Texas Education Agency and the Arizona Department of Education have said that they will cooperate with law enforcement and state boards of education to take action if necessary after the Harris County District Attorney’s office said up to 400 teachers were fraudulently certified.
As Chalkboard previously reported, the lucrative scheme allegedly involved several administrators and a basketball coach from Houston Independent School District. The administrators allegedly took teacher certification tests for teachers while bribed test proctors looked the other way.
