The school under his leadership also sunk to an all-time low academically. The question that ought to be asked is why said principal was simply demoted when all these infractions piled up.

How about taking some of that investigative energy and pointing it toward the $1 billion DART short fall or the Trinity project? Hmmmmm? Guess that only happens if someone hands over the smoking gun evidence (as happened in the SOC grades/eligibility story).

Anybody that knows me understands that I don't condone bad behavior. But really, who wins? The school looks bad, the district looks bad, and the new champ surely doesn't want to win a title this way. ^ Saying that nobody wins doesn’t mean that I support grade-fixing.
