WHO DOES TEXAS SCHOOL HAVE TEACHING AND EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN?

We must trust that they not only impart knowledge but also instill confidence and integrity in our kids. According to FOX 26 Houston, there is a growing concern that some parents may be unknowingly entrusting their children to unqualified educators. Recently, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) disclosed that over 100 teachers are currently under investigation for suspected fraudulent certification practices.

HERE IS A LIST OF SOME OF THE SCHOOLS IN TEXAS THAT ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FALSE CERTIFICATIONS

This situation is connected to a larger cheating scandal that emerged in Houston. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced in October that five individuals would face charges for allegedly running an illegal scheme that provided certifications to 100 teachers statewide, which poses significant risks. While all five defendants are charged with two counts of involvement in organized crime, it raises the question of the potential harm they may have inflicted on students. Numerous school districts, including Allen ISD, Alvin ISD, Arlington ISD, and several others, are now facing investigations for fraudulent certifications. This does not sit well with parents here in Texas. Texas parents want to know exactly what their child has learned from these fake educators.
