188. Of course.
D.C.'s IMPACT would be one.

Any state that wants to qualify to compete for RTTT funds has to agree to use students' standardized test scores as part of teacher evaluation.

Since teachers are not the sole factor influencing test scores, using those test scores as an evaluation tool is corrupt. That means holding teachers accountable for factors outside of their control, and blaming them when scores don't meet expectations. If that is not a corrupt use of data, I'm not sure what is.
