Years after being advised by a state agency to stop, the Dallas Independent School District continued to provide foreign citizens with fake Social Security numbers to get them on the payroll quickly.
Some of the numbers were real Social Security numbers already assigned to people elsewhere. And in some cases, the state's educator certification office unknowingly used the bogus numbers to run criminal background checks on the new hires, most of whom were brought in to teach bilingual classes.
The practice was described in an internal report issued in September by the district's investigative office, which looked into the matter after receiving a tip. The report said the Texas Education Agency learned of the fake numbers in 2004 and told DISD then that the practice "was illegal."
It's unclear how long DISD had been issuing the phony numbers, and district officials didn't know Thursday how many had been given out. But the investigative report and interviews with DISD employees indicate the practice went on for several years before it was discontinued this past summer.
DISD human resources chief Kim Olson, who came to the district in 2007, said that she learned about the false numbers this past summer around the time the district's investigative unit was looking into them and that she put a stop to the practice.
"There's no way we should be doing that kind of stuff," Ms. Olson said. "Even if your intention is good to help employees get paid, you can't use inappropriate procedures to do that."

And still no one will go to jail.
Wow, remember this issue???
And what is equally appaling is the fact that “years” after they were told to stop...Guess what...
They be still doin’ it!
Is there anything about our education establishment that is not sleazy? Oh, forgot, they’re liberals. Never mind.
Hmmm...wonder if some of the hundreds of school personal that DISD recently laid off had illegal SS numbers?
Inappropriate??? How about ILLEGAL!!!
The DMN posted the story at 07:49 AM CST...
DMN I’m good!
;-)
Insanity! Another way that an illegal alien can get on the gov't payroll. Once for a job, and then later for retirement benefits. I expect this kind of behaviour in Los Angeles or San Francisco, not Dallas!
>And still no one will go to jail.
Jail? I want public hangings.

Where is the feds or state gov’t investigative units in this matter. Criminal activities are surely involved when issuing providing fake SS#..... sheesh.
“faulted”?? WTF? Can’t we find an even gentler word? They should be in prison.

Not a surprise coming from this corrupt organization. It’s always a circus on the local news when the stories include the DISD board or the Dallas City Council.
More from the Anti-American Pro-Illegal Alien crowd....
Should we be surprised from liberals and RINOs
For liberals, laws are for the little people.
ISD problems in the Dallas area is nothing new.... In 07 the Texas had to shut down the Wilmer-Hutchins ISD just south of the city of Dallas due to major problems both academically and administratively and assign the students to the DISD system.
News organizations have been running stories on some ISDs [Houston area] showing how they are hiding thru classification procedures criminal activities of their students. Example a student may get caught with drugs/assualt, etc and the school system is coding it as a violation of the ‘code of conduct’. That way it seems minor.

.....That’s what an 11 News Defenders investigation has uncovered after identifying 70,000 police reports at Harris County schools and comparing those with the student discipline districts reported to the Texas Education Agency.
When a student commits a crime, the school district must report the discipline taken against that child to the state for every parent to see. But after reviewing records from 21 local school districts, we found weapons, drugs and assault charges watered down to look far less serious, or sometimes, they just seemed to vanish......

One law for the peons and one for the overlords. How long before we decide we’ve had enough and revolt?
The corruption of Mexico is in the DNA, one day you won’t be able to tell the difference between the southwestern states and Mexico, bribes, narco gangs running cities, corrupt cops you will pay at the “traffic stop” to let you go and all the vices of Mexican culture will become legion.
So we have a public agency commiting fraud. Where’s the DA?
Texas can still be saved, but it will take the citizens getting up in arms and tackling these people head on.
