People would typically pay $2,500 to the scheme’s fixer, who would bribe test officials and have proxies take their certification tests, prosecutors said.
Five people have been charged in Texas with organizing and participating in an illegal cheating scheme that certified more than 200 unqualified teachers and helped the plot’s “kingpin” rake in more than $1 million, prosecutors said.
In the scheme, people would typically pay $2,500 to have proxies take certification tests for them at two testing centers in Houston. The scandal involved bribing a testing proctor to allow test applicants and their proxies to switch places, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said at a news conference Monday.
That 2 year thing is not true. Maybe if you’re a tenured professor, but other than that they can just choose not to renew your contract for the next year.

Depends a lot on how strong their union is.
Not really. The union can’t force the district to renew a contract. They can only protect against firing the employee.
Schools likely won’t fire teachers unless they have to because they usually have to pay out the remainder of the contract.
