Another former El Paso schools official has been indicted by a federal grand jury as part of an alleged cheating scheme.
The U.S. attorney's office in San Antonio on Monday announced an indictment against James Anderson for conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, and making a false statement to a federal investigator.
Five other educators face federal charges on allegations they prevented "limited English proficiency" students from taking state tests to try to drive up scores.
The scheme allegedly fooled state officials into believing that academic performance had improved in the El Paso schools.
Former superintendent Lorenzo Garcia has already been sentenced to 3½ years in prison.
Anderson did not have an attorney listed in public court records.
