The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is leading the investigation into the alleged irregularities in the certification process.
The investigation follows concerns about potential manipulations or falsifications in the certification process, although specific details have not been disclosed.
The TEA aims to determine the validity of the teachers’ certifications and whether federal or state laws were violated.
