NEW BRAUNFELS -- A middle school principal threatened to kill a group of
science teachers if their students did not improve their standardized test
scores, according to a complaint filed with the New Braunfels Police
Department.

I don't teach at this school or in this school district-but our principals
let it be known that their evaluations are based solely on their TAKS
scores.
