Looks like HISD may forward an investigation report into Key Middle School to the district attorney's office. The Houston Chronicle reports that Grier has referred the report to HISD officials, who would consider whether it should be forwarded to the DA's office.

The Houston school board voted Thursday to fire the former principal of Key Middle School and five other employees implicated in a wide-ranging investigation that found evidence of cheating on state tests, profiting off student fund raisers and nepotism. ...

HISD Superintendent Terry Grier said he now plans to forward the 2-inch-thick investigative report on Key to the school board's Audit Committee and to the district's inspector general to decide whether to turn it over to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
