A top administrator for the troubled El Paso school district has resigned amid scrutiny into her alleged role into a test-cheating scheme that sent the former superintendent to prison.
Former interim superintendent Terri Jordan resigned Friday and that two other administrators could be fired next week. The district is in turmoil over what prosecutors say was a conspiracy to remove low-performing students from classrooms and enrich bonuses for school officials.
Jordan was most recently the district's chief of staff. A vote scheduled for Tuesday on the other administrators could be the last decisions made by a beleaguered school board that the state is seeking to remove.
Ex-superintendent Lorenzo Garcia was sentenced to more than three years in prison after pleading guilty to fraud.
