(Austin, TX) — The Texas Education Agency is ordered to pay more than $200,000 to a former employee who was fired for being a whistleblower.
A Department of Education judge ruled last Friday that special education director Laurie Kash was fired a year ago because she complained about irregularities in the way the agency awarded a major contract.
Kash had complained to local, state and federal agencies about the awarding of the multi-million-dollar, no-bid contract. Officials with the Texas Education Agency say they’re going to appeal.
