State regulators ordered the Houston Independent School District to improve its record-keeping on dropouts and remove the leadership of a school where records were falsified.

Responding to findings that some school leaders manipulated data in order to improve their statistical profiles, Texas Education Agency Chief Deputy Commissioner Robert Scott told the district Thursday that the education agency will dispatch a monitor to review dropout data.

The district — whose former chief is federal Education Secretary Rod Paige — must also hire an external consultant to look at problems with data collection.

Looks like it's time to rename the Bush* education act to "Leave No Child Behind Unless We Can't Find a Way to Cook the Books"!!!
