EL PASO, Texas (AP) — An administrator in a West Texas school district is the second person this week to resign over a scheme involving high-stakes standardized tests that landed the ex-superintendent in prison.
Myrna Gamboa resigned Thursday from the El Paso Independent School District and will receive no severance or benefits. She served under former superintendent Lorenzo Garcia, who was sentenced to 3 1/2 years in federal prison last month after pleading guilty to organizing a scheme that forced students to drop out to keep them from taking accountability exams.
