More controversy out of the problems at Houston's Kashmere High and Key Middle schools, according to Chronicle education writer Ericka Mellon

The Houston school district is investigating whether employees fabricated documents in a complex scheme to fraudulently report dozens of students who dropped out as transfers to other campuses, Superintendent Terry Grier confirmed today.

The investigation centers on Kashmere High School this academic year and its feeder campus, Key Middle School, last year. Several of the Key employees followed their principal, Mable Caleb, when she was promoted to Kashmere this year.
