EL PASO (AP) — The Texas Education Agency said it would create a new investigative division after a state audit highlighted serious flaws with how the agency monitors its more than 1,000 school districts.
The State Auditor’s Office conducted an audit that confirmed TEA didn’t perform a thorough investigation of cheating allegations in the El Paso Independent School District. The audit also said the state has a flawed system because education officials depend on school districts to police themselves.
