Monte Alto ISD conservator appointed after intentional grade errors, attorney says
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Monte Alto ISD has appointed a conservator following revelations of intentional grade discrepancies affecting students from 2019 to 2023. Legal counsel Eden Ramirez indicated that incorrect grades were deliberately entered, particularly in credit recovery programs. The high school was identified as the source of these errors. Although there was speculation about whether students were improperly passed, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) did not finalize an investigation due to a settlement with the conservator, Dr. Sylvia Ibarra. She will monitor academic progress and will be compensated $250 per hour for her services. The district's ratings fluctuated from B to C in recent years.
