Federal audit confirms cheating at El Paso schools
EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A federal audit confirms several schools in El Paso cheated on high-stakes accountability tests during the tenure of now-convicted superintendent Lorenzo Garcia.
The Department of Education audit released Friday says the district prevented some students from taking the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills tests. Under Garcia, district officials encouraged low-performing students to drop out or be held back in the 9th grade so they would not take the TAKS test in the 10th grade. Garcia was hired in 2006 and served as superintendent until his arrest in 2012.
