Can AISD ever dig itself out of this hole? Not only are accountability ratings down, but TAAS tests - used to determine a school's statewide ranking - were deliberately manipulated by one of the school district's own employees, pushing several Austin schools into better categories. When the deed was discovered, AISD had mud on its face, but so far, no high-ranking official has been held accountable.
