RE: CARTER, Roslyn #37521
Case Number: 9021
Executive Summary
The evidence in this investigation sUbstantiated the allegation that Roslyn CARTER, Principal of
Tom W. Field Elementary School, directed and caused false school records to be created relating
to teachers of record, grades of students for subjects not taught, and grades from teachers for
stUdents they did not teach. CARTER also violated Dallas ISD policies when she:
1. Directed that the state and District approved curriculum for science and social studies
to not be taught so as to allow more time for teaching mathematics and reading.
[EHAB (Legal)]; [EHAB (Local)]; [19 T AC §§ 74, 112.14, 113.15]
2. Had the music teacher teach mathematics instead of music. [EHAB (Local)]; [EIA
(Regu lation)]
3. Directed teachers to share their logon passwords with other teachers.[Ca
(Regulation)]
4. Required a teacher to use his planning period to tutor students in mathematics. [DL
(Legal)]
5. Required a grade weights scale contrary to that set out in District policy. [EIA
(Regulation »)
6. Discouraged teachers from reporting potential district policy violations to OPR. [CAA.
(Local)] .
It should be noted that the following 10 employees of Tom W. Field Elementary School failed to
report to OPR the fraudulent directives by CARTER that created the false records and, thereby,
facilitated in the creation of the false student records and violated District policy CM (Local):

REPORT OF INVESTIGATION
Office of Professional Responsibility
BackQround
This investigation was initiated from an anonymous caller to the Dallas ISO OPR Hotline on January 6,
2011. (W1-1, Dallas ISO OPR Hotline Report #8820) Two other calls were made on March 6, 2011 and
May 19, 2011. (W1-2, Dallas ISO OPR Hotline Report #9021 and W1-3. Dallas ISO OPR Hotline Report
#9220)
Allegation
The Dallas ISO OPR Hotline reports' main allegation was that Roslyn CARTER, Principal at Tom W. Field
Elementary School, did not permit third grade students to attend gym, music or art classes so the
students could be tutored in math and reading during those periods. The caller also alleged that science
and social studies were not being taught to third grade stUdents so they could be taught math. It was
alleged that science and social studies grades were given on report cards, but the subjects were not
being taught. (W1-1, W1-2, W1-3)
Other allegations involving the retention of students, excessive referrals of students to be tested for
Special Education services, students being withheld from field trips, relations with parents and grouping of
students was not addressed in this report, but is being referred to the Learning Community Executive
Director. The Learning Community Executive Director should refer to Exhibits W1-1, W1-2 and W1-3.
Employee Status
The Dallas ISO Oracle system indicated that Roslyn CARTER had an Educator Contract with the
District that expired on June 4, 2011. (W2-1 ! Oracle Print) As of the date of this report Oracie
has not been updated with the next contract dates.

Extent And Results Of Investigation
Laura McMillin, Counselor at Tom W. Field Elementary School , was interviewed by The Office of
Professional Responsibility (OPR) on March 29, 2011 . McMillin signed an Administrative Statement and
submitted a sworn affidavit. (W3-1 . Affidavit) McMillin stated in her affidavit:
" ... This school year, 2010-2011, there are four 3
rd
grade teachers, Ms. Archbold, Ms.
Bustamante, Mr. Elder and Mr. Mitchell. Students rotate between three teachers. They have
two classes of math (Mr. Elder and Mr. Mitchell) then language arts. Students are also
tutored during their gym, music, art, and computer time in math. When I was looking for a
student during specials time I went to the music room and Ms. Paper, the music teacher,
was using an overhead projector teaching math and the students had math worksheets."

REPORT OF INVESTIGATION
Office of Professional Responsibility
"During an LPAC meeting in January 2011 Ms. CARTER told Ms. Archbold and
Bustamante to give the student's science and social studies grades for the 6 weeks.
Archbold and Bustamante had been teaching reading. CARTER stated she had Mr. Elder
and Mr. Mitchell who were teaching math; delete the science and social studies grades
they had entered. CARTER instructed Archbold and Bustamante to enter science and
social studies grades and for them to use nonfiction passages to justify the grades. Ms.
Archbold said she could not give grades for something she has not taught. Ms. CARTER
told her, "I am giving you a directive." Ms. CARTER, Ms. Archbold and Ms. Bustamante
met privately in Ms. CARTER's office after that meeting ... "
"This school year, 2010-2011 around February, Ms. Ferrell the PPCD teacher was moved to
4th grade to teach math. Mr. Perea teaches math too and Mr. Apodaca teaches reading and
writing. The 4th grade science and social studies teacher was moved to teach 5
th
grade
science in the fall."
"When Ms. Ferrell was moved to 4th grade, Ms. Harrison, a previous PPCD (Preschool
Program for Children with Disabilities) teacher ctnd a current 2
nd
grade teacher was moved to
PPCD ... "
"I was told that some of the 3rd and 5
th
grade teachers were told by Ms. CARTER to send
home the social studies and science benchmarks. She did not want them wasting class
time in the subjects not being tested by TAKS."
"Some teachers were told to exchange username and passwords to enter grades and
attendance. Some teachers on record differ from the actual teacher in the classroom."
(W3-1 )
In an email to OPR dated May 26, 2011, McMillin stated that she did not know of science being taught in
3
rd
or 4th grade and was not aware of social studies being taught at all. (W3-2. Email)
Tina Roberson, Math Instructional Coach and GradeSpeed Administrator at Tom W. Field Elementary
School, was interviewed by OPR on May 5, 2011. Roberson signed' an Administrative Statement and
submitted a sworn affidavit. (W9-1, Affidavit and W9-2, Emails) Roberson wrote in her affidavit:
"I was moved to second grade at the end of the third six weeks. Ms CARTER told me the
move was in response to the low T AKS Release scores in fourth grade. Ms CARTER
informed me that she was moving Ms Ferrell to fourth from PPCD to assist with math, Ms
Harrison to PPCD, which left second grade open and I was needed to fill this slot. I asked
CARTER how she wanted to handle grades and attendance because I did not have access
to either the Chancery system or to GradeSpeed. CARTER asked if as the administrator
couldn't I just input the grades. I informed her that I have read only access to all grade
books. CARTER then said that I could either give the grades to Ms Harrison to enter or Ms
Harrison could give me her login information for both Chancery and GradeSpeed. Ms
Harrison did not want to enter the grades herself, so she provided me with the login for
both sites. After about a week Ms Ferrell told me she was uncomfortable using Ms
Aguilera's login information and could I give her personal login to GradeSpeed. I informed
her that those changes had to be done though downtown and Veronica Estrada the CRC
had to change the teachers in the system and then she could request access. The CRC
cannot make any assignment changes without the prior approval of Ms CARTER. I also
told her I had previously discussed personal access with CARTER and Ms CARTER said to

just use the logins of the other teacher. Ms Ferrell said she would go talk to CARTER
again and tell her how uncomfortable she was with the arrangement. The ne)(t week, I was
told by Veronica Estrada, the CRC, that I had been switched to the teacher of record for
the second grade class so I needed to request access to the Chancery system.
GradeSpeed access was added to my current account."
"In my position as GradeSpeed administrator, I am aware of students receiving grades
from teachers who are not the teacher of record. The teachers were told by Ms CARTER to
either give the grades to the teacher of record or use the login information for that teacher
to assign the grades in the GradeSpeed system. At the beginning of the year, I received
an email from Ms CARTER stating the grading scale for the new year. I replied to her email
saying that I did not think that her scale was the same as the district scale I had received
from Mirriam Coleman-Harris in the Northwest community office. I emailed my Coleman-
Harris and she sent me to correct scale. I forwarded this information to CARTER and her
response was ok, but hers was the scale she wanted to use. I am also aware that 90% of
the third grade student population did not attend special classes this year because they
have been in T AKS tutoring. I was one of the teacher providing the tutoring both during
the school day and after school for the first 4 six weeks. The music teacher Ms Paper was
pulled by Ms CARTER and was tutoring math instead of teaching music to these students.
Despite never attending these classes all students received a grade for each course for
the entire school year. These same students have not been taught science and until
recently, did not receive instruction in social studies. Again, these students have all
received grades in both of these content areas. I have spoken to several teachers and the
CRC to communicate that entering grades for students in areas where they have not .
received instruction and using the login information of another professional is unethical
and illegal. I also informed them that report cards are legal documents and in doing either
of the above is falsifying records. The overwhelming response was that we are all aware
that these practices are unacceptable but our hands are tied because we have been
directed to perform these duties by Ms CARTER. During the second round of benchmark
testing, third grade and fifth grade students were given their benchmark test to take home
and complete as homework and then the scores were used as a grade." (W9-1)
Tina Roberson provided a copy of an email received on September 3, 2010 from Miriam Coleman-Harris,
Manager of Campus and Administrative Support for Dallas ISO, which said, "Core subjects like Math,
Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science must have the following weights/categories:
ClassworklHomework= 50%, Tests= 20%, Projects/Products = 20%, Six Weeks Test = 10%." (W9-2)
Tina Roberson also provided an email discussion with CARTER. In an email dated September 16, 2010,
CARTER wrote: "Please set gradespeed ... up this way: Classwork-50%, Tests 40%, HW-10%." On
September 24, 2010, Roberson replied to CARTER'S email stating that she had received an email from
Miriam Coleman-Harris, the coordinator for gradespeed, with the correct grade weight breakdown.
Roberson then gave the grade weight scale given by Miriam Coleman-Harris. CARTER replied to the
email the same day stating: "Ok, but we discussed last year how we wanted to set it up here. I gave
teachers the breakdown and placed it in their boxes." (W9-2)
Rachael Paper, Music Teacher at Tom W. Field Elementary School, was interviewed by OPR on May 5,
2011. Rachael Paper signed an Administrative Statement and submitted a sworn affidavit. (VV4-1 ,
Affidavit) In her affidavit Rachael Paper stated:
"At the beginning of the school year 2010-2011, I was teaching music to third grade for
specials. However, I received an e-mail from Ms. CARTER requesting that I start tutoring
math for some third grade students during third grade specials. After that, I tutored math

grade specials until the TAKS test which was April 26, 2011. I was able to give
them a music grade for the first six weeks since I did see them for music for a few weeks.
After that, I gave them all 95 since I never got to see them in music again. I enter music
grades on gradespeed for all 2nd_5th grade students at Tom W. Field Elementary School. I
am the only one with my gradespeed password and no one else has my password. I will
be forwarding the e-mails that Ms. CARTER sent about the math tutoring during specials
to Rex Stewart." (W4-1)
Roslyn CARTER sent Rachael Paper, and other teachers, an email on Saturday, September 18, 2010,
assigning 3rt! grade students for math tutoring. The teachers were told to pick up the students from the
gym at 7:50 a.m., and take them to the classrooms to begin working on math. Rachael Paper was
instructed by CARTER:
" ... you will send any music students that remain (,) after all these students are pulled (,) to
P.E. each day. You will tutor 3
rd
grade students daily in Math from 8:00-9:00 in your
classroom. Please meet with Mr. Elder, Mr. Mitchell. and me this Monday morning to
discuss what we will work on with these students. Thank you." (W4-2, Email from CARTER)
In an email dated September 27, 2010 from CARTER, music .teacher Rachael Paper was given
instructions to "follow the instructional calendar schedule and use Texas Math to teach the Current
TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) during morniri'g tutoring." (W4-3, Email from CARTER)
Rachel Paper was given further math tutoring instructions as late as April 6, 2011 . (W4-4, Email from
CARTER)
James Mitchell, 3
rd
Grade Mathematics and Science Teacher at Tom W. Field Elementary School, was
interviewed by OPR on May 4, 2011. Mitchell signed an Administrative Statement and submitted a sworn
affidavit. (WS-1, Affidavit) Mitchell did not agree with CARTER when he was instructed by CARTER to
teach math to his students instead of science. Mitchell wrote in his affidavit:
"During this current school year of 2010-2011, I was instructed by Ms. CARTER, the
principal, to do the following things of which I did not agree, but for fear of losing my job,
felt that I had to do anyway." '.
"/ was instructed to teach math exclusively to the students in my class even though / was
also supposed to teach Science. I taught one group of students from 9:00 a. m. until lunch
at 11 :30 a. m. and then another group after lunch from 12:15 p. m. until 3:00 p. m. On the
schedule there was a block for math and a block for science, but I was instructed to
continue teaching the math through the science block. This directive was given to me by
Ms. CARTER. I've attached an e-mail to this affidavit dated in late September of 2010 a
request made by me to Ms. CARTER that I be allowed to teach science vocabulary and
some science concepts at the beginning of each of my classes. The e-mail also shows
Ms. CARTER's reply to that request, denying that I be allowed to do so. I was directed to
use measurement assignments in math to legitimize grades given for science. I at no time
this year until after T AKS testing last week was required to prepare science lesson plans
or was allowed to teach the 3rd grade science curriculum."
"As a directive from Ms. CARTER, the 3
rd
grade students were divided into two classes;
however, some of the students assigned to my CEls (Classroom Effectiveness Index) and on
my Grade Speed roster were actually taught by Mr. Elder and some stUdents actually on

to each other to enter for those students. I never shared my password to Grade Speed
with anyone.
At the beginning of the 2010 school year I was asked by Ms. CARTER to tutor students
during my planning period and even though I needed to use this time for legitimate
planning, I did so because I felt my job would be jeopardy had I not done it. The students
who attended this tutoring were lower performing in math and would normally have
attended Specials classes such as Music, PE, and Art. Last fall, approximately 20 lower
performing students were not allowed to go on the 3rd grade field trip to the Dallas Zoo,
but were required to attend math class that day." (W5-1)
The October 2, 2010 email from CARTER to Mitchell and others, CARTER states:
"Since the kids are so low in math, Mr. Mitchell has to stick with math. Students' graphing
their grades and interpreting the graphs is a science skill. Students will also get Science
through measurement. This is a very high stakes year and we cannot afford to have
students' T AKS scores drop in third grade. I have looked at reading and math
assessments and I am very d-isapPointed. There is much work to be done in Reading and
Math and these two subjects have to be the focus." (W5-2, Email)
When CARTER responded, "Mr. Mitchell has to stick with math", CARTER was denying Mitchell's
request to teach 10 minutes of science two times a week and 10 minutes of social studies per week with
a short quiz. (W5-2l
Laura Bustamante, 3
rd
Grade Reading Teacher at Tom W. Field Elementary School, was interviewed by
OPR on May 3, 2011. Bustamante signed an Administrative Statement and submitted a sworn affidavit
and copies of em ails relating to CARTER'S directives. (W6-1, Affidavit) In her sworn affidavit,
Bustamante stated:
" ... Because of the students lack of improvement they were tutored in Mathematics in the
mornings almost every day. The students did not receive music instruction instead the
music teacher Ms. Paper tutored them in Math as well but the students still received a
music grade. In addition to the tutoring during specials, our students received more than 4
hours if not 5 of Mathematics instruction and only 1 hour and 50 minutes of Reading
(when we at least need 2 hours). In a three way rotation, they had two sessions of Math
and one of Reading. It was unfair when we were asked why our students were not
improving as quickly as desired and the methods we were using to resolve this issue.
When we returned from Christmas break I was cc'd on an email that was directed to Mr.
Elder and Mr. Mitchell to delete all the grades they had given for Social Studies that it was
now my responsibility to give Social Studies Grades. (W6-2. Email) I was concerned about
the email because we already don't have enough time to teach Reading and I thought I was
being asked to teach Social Studies. I replied by asking if this email meant that Ms.
Archbold and I were going to have an additional 45 minutes to teach Social Studies. The
reply to my question was NO. That we were to use our nonfiction stories as grades for
Social Studies. A few days after at an LPAC (Language Proficiency Assessment Committee)
meeting in front of Mr. McGowan (LPAC Chair), Mr. Elder, Mr. Mitchell, Ms. McMillin, Ms.
Archbold and I, Ms. CARTER brought up the subject again, were she showed and told us
she was upset about the email I sent, she said that she was NOT asking us to make up
grades that she simply wants us to use nonfiction stories as the Social Studies grades. We
said that not all nonfiction is Social Studies. Some of our stories are based on Science and
others in Math or Astronomy (not everything is Social Studies). When Ms. Archbold and I

refused she got very heated and said that it was a directive. Then she told us to go to her
office after the meeting. When we walked into her office she said that our attitude "sucks"
and that she was tired of us talking behind people's backs (which was a surprise to us)
then she continued to say that she was NOT asking us to make up Social Studies grades
just to use nonfiction stories. Then she said that she didn't like our attitude and reminded
Ms. Archbold that her attitude in the other room at the meeting where she made 8 face at
her (when Ms. CARTER said that we didn't have time to teach Social Studies right now and
the kids needed more than 4 hours of Math) was rude and that next year she would make
her self contained. Ms. Archbold replied "I won't be here" and Ms. CARTER said "Good".
(W6-1 )
Bustamante supplied OPR with a series of emaHs from CARTER in January 2011 that instructed
Bustamante, a reading teacher, and Lilian Archbold (Lopez), a language arts teacher, to start giving
grades for 3
rd
grade Social Studies, even though they were not teaching social studies. In the first email
to teachers James Mitchell and William Elder, who were inputting grades for social studies, CARTER
wrote on January 3, 2011 at 1 :02 P.M.:
"Please delete the social studies grades that you assigned to students.
Bustamante/Ms. Archbold are responsible for the 5S grades. Thank you." (W6-2)
At 1 :28 p.m., .on the same day Bustamante responded back to CARTER:
M s . _ ~
' ~ - . -
"When was this decided? Social Studies is not assigned to us, we do not teach it, since
we were not aware of this matter we do not have grades for it. Does this mean that we are
getting an additional 45 minutes for Social Studies instruction?" (W6-3, Email)
At 1 :29 P.M., CARTER responded:
"No, this means that you will have reading/social studies combined. It can be the same
grade since you have non-fiction stories (can count for social studies)." (W6-3)
On Wednesday, January 5, 2011, CARTER sent another email to Bustamante and Archbold (Lopez) with
the subject heading, "Social Studies directive follow-up". (W6-4, Email) CARTER wrote:
"To follow up on our conversation from yesterday, I just want to clarify that I do expect
students to continue working on non-fiction texts to count as social studies grades for the
3rd six weeks report cards. Ms Bustamante can provide grades for the non-fiction stories
that she has done thus far so that Mrs. Archbold can enter grades into gradespeed for the
3rd six-weeks. (It is very hard for me to believe that Ms. Archbold has not done any non-
fiction stories since teaching the students) Each of you will collaborate to give social
studies grades on the upcoming report card. I will check to make sure grades are entered
on gradespeed from each of you in the area of social studies." (W6-4)
The 3
rd
six weeks grading period ended January 14, 2011 . (W7-1, Student Calendar) With nine (9) days
left in the grading period, CARTER informed Bustamante and Archbold, reading and language arts
tsa:hers, that they would be teaching social studies. The teachers would not be using the standard
curriculum, but CARTER was directing them to use the non-fiction portion of reading assignments as
Social Studies. CARTER told the teachers to "collaborate" to give the social studies grades on the report
cards and that she (CARTER) would be checking to make sure Bustamante and Archbold entered grades
for social studies. (W6-4)

grade teachers Mitchell, Elder, Bustamante and Archbold
that beginning on Monday, February 14, 2011 (10 days before the end of the 4th six weeks grading
period), that she was changing the class format. CARTER directed there will only be two classes per day,
about two hours and forty·five minutes each, and that math and reading will only be taught. No mention
was made regarding science and social studies. (W6-5, Emails)
Lilian Archbold (Lopez), 3rd Grade Language Arts Teacher at Tom W. Field Elementary School , was
interviewed by OPR on May 3, 2011. Archbold signed an Administrative Statement and signed a sworn
affidavit. (WB-1, Affidavit) Archbold confirmed the events previously described by Bustamante relating to
teaching assignment directives issued by CARTER. Archbold wrote in her affidavit:
" ... Mr. Elder was teaching Math, Mr. Mitchell was assigned with Social Studies and
Science and Ms. Bustamante Language Reading Arts. We kept this three way rotation until
February 14
th
, 2011. On January 3

2011 I received an email (attached to this Affidavit)
from Ms. CARTER asking Mr. Mitchell to delete any Social Studies grades since Ms.
Bustamante and I were now responsible for Social Studies grades. Ms. Bustamante
replied to that email asking if we were also getting the additional 45 minutes for Social
Studies Instruction. No replay (reply) to that email from Ms. CARTER. However on January
4th during a LPAC meeting Ms. CARTER asked us what was that email about. I told her that
may be It would be better if Mr. Mitchell leave the grades already entered in grade speed
since he has been teaching Social StudiEts. Ms. CARTER clarified to me that Mr. Mitchell
has been only teaching Math and not Social Studies or Science. Ms. CARTER got very
irritated with my suggestion. Ms. CARTER said that I was going to enter grades for S.S
without discussion and that I could use nonfiction stories as S.S grades. I told her that I
was going to enter grades only for a subject or material that I teach and I refused to enter
grades for social studies since I do not teach Social Studies. Ms. CARTER left the room.
Few minutes later she called Ms. Bustamante and I into her office and told me that I had a
horrible attitude and that it was a directive to enter grades for Social Studies. I refused
again she was completely out of control yelling at me and told me that she was not asking
me to do anything illegal. After few minutes arguing I told her that I was only going to
enter grades for social studies If the material was Social Studies related. Ever since, I have
been very careful choosing the Social Studies assignments and all the student work
completed I have it in a· box in my room. To input Social Studies grades I asked Ms.
Estrada to add Social Studies roster to my Gradespeed to avoid sharing passwords with
anyone. Ms. Estrada added the roster on January 4

Studies grades around April 4th since we were on TAKS mode ... " (W8·1)
On May 4, 2011, Archbold sent OPR Inspector Stewart an email with a narrative attachment of events
that happened when Archbold returned to Tom W. Field Elementary School after being interviewed by
OPR. (W8·2, Narrative Report) Archbold wrote:

that Ms. Bustamante mentioned something however she did not pay too much attention,
since Ms. CARTER has not say (said) a word about any changes and it was "just two
weeks". Ms. Estrada said that she would ask Ms. CARTER about this matter and would let

almost yelling at me- "why do you have to go and complain to Downtown? Why every time
you have a problem you have to go to down town behind my back instead of coming to me
and talking about your problem? " I asked her what she was talking about because I really
did not understand what she was talking about. Ms. CARTER accused me of going behind
her back making up lies and misinterpreting her commands. Ms. CARTER said that she
knew I went today May 3
rd
, 2011 to "downtown" and accused me of complaining about
"entering students' grades on student I am not actually teaching". Ms. CARTER asked me
"when have I ask you to enter grades on students you don't teach?" Ms. CARTER also
said that you Mr. Rex Stewart had just called her to tell her that I went to your office this
morning "to complain about entering grades on students I don't have" I told her that I was
not allowed to discuss anything with her about our meeting. Ms. CARTER was very angry
and kept asking me the same questions over and over. I tried to explain to her that I just
asked Ms. Estrada if she had made any changes in our rosters so that Ms. Bustamante
would be able to enter grades. Ms. CARTER asked me "I have been a good and supportive
principal to you I do not understand why are you doing this to me? Why?" Ms. Cater
followed up with- "why are you so worried this year and last year you did not
complain about this when you were am ""' ot you to do anything
iUegall" another fifth grade stUdent who I tutored last year) I told her that last year
I wrote special lesson plans for the substitute teacher with specific instructions and I left
all the materials ready for her to use. Also last year I returned to my classroom after 11 :30
therefore I had about 15 minutes to summarized and conclude the lesson. I also was
responsible for grading their work" However I do not remember if I entered grades or not
for those two weeks. Ms CARTER suggested me to do the same thing this year just that
instead of having a substitute teacher Ms. Bustamante would be teaching my class and I
would be responsible for grading their work. Then Ms. CARTER added with mocking and
sarcastic tone "How hard is that Ms. Archbold?" "Or tell me what to do so you would be
happyl Don't you realize that I notice that you and Ms Bustamante use the same lesson
plan? Tell me what to do!!I" I replied that it was her call to tell me what to do. I told her that
I just asked a question and I did not understand her reaction. She said that to avoid more
"complaints" and "false accusations against her" I would go back to my assignment and
no more fifth grade tutoring. Ms. Cater also accused me of making up lies and starting
this investigation against her. I honestly feel retaliated, harassed, intimidated and like a
escape goat. I have simply complied to the requests of Mr. Stewart ... " (W8-2)
Investigator's Note: OPR Inspector Stewart never contacted CARTER to inform her that Archbold
appeared before OPR or told CARTER that Archbold complained about entering grades on GradeSpeed.

Michael Harrison, 2
nd
Grade math and science teacher at Tom W. Field Elementary School, was
interviewed by OPR on May 4, 2011. Harrison signed an Administrative Statement and submitted a
sworn affidavit. (W11-1, Affidavit) In her affidavit, Harrison stated:
" ... However, at the end of January, first of February, Ms. CARTER came to my classroom.
She informed me that she was going to place me into the Preschool Program and move
Ms. Ferrell to 4th Math so that she could get the students ready for TAKS. Then she
informed me that Ms. Roberson, the math instructional coach for K_2
nd
, would be teaching
my classes until I returned. I told her that I was not going to argue. I was moved into the
Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities on February 21, 2011. I was moved back
into 2
nd
grade on April 25, 2011 ... To complete attendance for Chancery, Ms. Ferrell was
told by Ms. Estrada, the CRC, to exchange passwords. Ms. Estrada said that Ms. CARTER
had told her to tell us that because we would still be the teacher of record for the class
even though we were not in there. Ms. Ferrell gave me her login and password for
Chancery and I gave my information to Ms. Roberson."
"Another incident that I observed was 3
rd
grade was not teaching Science. I first started
noticing this after a meeting that was held with Ms. CARTER. She had sent out an email
asking why we were not teaching science in Kindergarten through Second and that It was
not fair that Ms. Harwick, the 5
th
grade Science teacher, had to work so hard. She called
us in after school to discuss this matter. After the meeting, Ms. Reed and I started
observing third grade. Ms. Reed is in the same hallway and can hear and see more than I
can. I really noticed that Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Elder were not teaching Science because of
walk-throughs that we did during our planning time. Also, every time I walked past their
classrooms, Mr. Elder was teaching math from old T AKS tests and Mr. Mitchell was
teaching the Math CPGs (Curriculum Planning Guides)."
"During leveling, Ms. Aguilar was placed on record as being a second grade teacher, but
she never taught second grade. I know about this because Ms. Estrada, the CRe lady,
would walk to each classroom to take attendance for the students that were on Ms.
Aguilar's roster. I asked Ms. Estrada If this was right and she told me to stay out of It
because she was just doing as she was told by Ms. CARTER." (See Exhibit W11-2. Email,
for corroboration)
"During a meeting within the first two six weeks, Ms. CARTER stated that she did not care
if the students went to specials including P.E. because the students were so academically
low that they needed to work on Math and Reading. She also said that if she could legaJiy
keep them from lunch, she would because they were so academically low. As the year has
progressed, most of the third grade stUdents have missed specials because they were in
tutoring. Ms. Paper, the music teacher, do (does) not teach music to third grade. She was
told she had to tutor Math and Reading."
Weeks before Christmas Break, Ms. CARTER called a meeting for Kindergarten through
Second grade teacher. Once everyone was in the conference room, she stormed in asking
who had reported her for switching stUdents around to make T AKS scores. When no one
said anything, she had Ms. Paper explain the "proper" way to report concerns within the
school. The next day, I was asked to Ms. CARTER'S office. There she asked me directly if

MariCarmen Aguilera (Solis), pre-K teacher at Tom W, Field Elementary School, was interviewed by OPR
on May 5, 2011. Aguilera signed an Administrative Statement and submitted a sworn affidavit. (W12-1,
Affidavit) Aguilera detailed the number of times that she was moved to different grade levels during the
2010-2011 school year. Aguilera wrote in her affidavit:
"This 2010-2011 school year I started with third grade (Language Arts and Social Studies -
teacher of record) but because of numbers was moved to teach a small group in fourth
grade (Self-Contained - NOT teacher of record). To the best of my knowledge five out of
my eight students were Special Ed and in my fourth grade small group class (gave some
grades to the Special Ed. Teacher but didn't record grades in grade-speed). After a few
weeks my assignment changed once again and I became the teacher of record for fourth
grade Science and Social Studies. Later on, I was asked to assist the fifth grade Language
Arts teacher and worked with the Gen. Ed group. I worked with this group of students for
about six weeks before they took the T AKS Reading test. Once I began my new
assignment (assisting the fifth grade teacher) I was no longer the teacher of record for
fourth grade Science and Social Studies. After the fifth grade students took the TAKS
Reading Test I was asked to be the pre-k teacher. I am currently the pre-k teacher of record
at Tom W. Field Elementary."
"While I was the teacher of record for fourth grade I taught both Science and Social
Studies using KAMICO practices and T AKS Ready Practices. I also used both the Science
and Social Studies texts to teach different reading concepts such as main idea, inference,
chronological order, main character, vocabulary development, and supporting details etc."

signed an Administrative Statement and submitted a sworn affidavit. (W 13-1! Affidavit) In his affidavit,
Elder said his current assignment is at John H. Reagan Elementary School. During the 2010-2011 school
year, Elder was assigned to Tom W. Field Elementary School. In his sworn affidavit, Elder wrote:
"At the beginning of the year (2010-2011), the third grade met (Mr. Elder, Mr. Mitchell, Ms.
Solis-Aguilera, and Ms. Bustamante. It was agreed that Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Elder would
teach Math and Science. Ms. SoliS-Aguilera and Ms. Bustamante would teach Language
Arts and Social Studies. This was agreed upon and printed (and blown up and laminated)
for the Third Grade Goals 2010-2011."
"After leveling, Ms. Solis moved to another grade level, third grade became a three way
split. I became a Math teacher, Mr. Mitchell was teaching Science and Social Studies. Ms.
Bustamante was teaching Language Arts. This allowed us to have 1 hour 50 minutes."
"In November (2010), Ms. Archbold returned to Field Elementary School from leave. At that
time, and through changes, Social Studies appeared on Gradespeed for Mr. Mitchell and
for me (Mr. Elder)."
"I was planning lessons with the principal and Mr. Mitchell ask(ed) to come into the office
to speak with the principal. He informed the principal that Social Studies was appearing on

meet."
"At the meeting, the principal said that she did not want Social Studies grades to be given
by Mr. Mitchell of by me (Mr. Elder). Ms. Archbold asked that we give Social Studies
grades. Ms. CARTER said that the Reading Teachers were supposed to be giving Social
Studies grades, and that this could be done through both "Time for Kids" and non-fiction
stories. Ms. Archbold was very rude with the principal about this and Ms. CARTER told her
she was not asking her to make up or falsify grades. She told her she needed to give the
Social Studies grades. Ms. Archbold was being very disrespectful with the principal. The
conversation continued in the office with the principal, Ms. Archbold and Ms.
Bustamante. "
"During this time period, I was teaching Math and Science. The Science was integrated
into the Mathematics. I was not teaching the Science curriculum according the CPG
(Curriculum Planning Guide)."
"When we had a 3 way split, we had 1 hour 50 minutes, as noted above. When we had a
two way split, we taught for 2 hours 45 minutes."
"There have been times this year, through test results and profiling that we have had to
make adjustments with where students were. During those times, I have had to share
grades with Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Mitchell has given grades with me. Students were on
GradeSpeed according to our CEI roster. We shared grades because we don't have access
to other teacher's grades and records. Also, the times we made changes according to
student needs, we might serve a student who was not on our eEl. The question has arisen
as to whether we have shared passwords. I have not given Mr. Mitchell my password and

Explanations And Defenses Offered
Roslyn CARTER, Principal at Tom W. Field Elementary, was interviewed by OPR on May 10, 2011 .
CARTER signed an Administrative Statement and submitted a sworn affidavit with supporting
docum ents . (W 16-1 . Affidavit) In her sworn affidavit, CARTER wrote:
"For the 2010-2011 school year and prior years, I did direct third and fifth graders to not
attend specials because they were failing math or science and they needed to be tutored.
When third graders took a T AKS release in November 2010, there were only 39% of
students who passed the exam. Fifth graders have to take a Science T AKS release test
and the students who were tutored during specials were tutored by me only and they were
tutored during specials because they had not passed a Science bi-weekly assessment.
Specials teachers -create their own schedules and there are many times during the week
they do not have classes, so they were pulled to either enter classrooms to assist with
small groups or pull students out to assist with reading or math. I never asked the specials
teachers about grades for those students who were tutored during their specials time."

"After the 3
rd
grade students scored a 39% pass rate on the November 2010 TAKS release
test, the third grade teachers and I created a TEKS calendar (4
th
grade example attached)
so that students could have the math TtKS covered twice per day. Mr. Mitchell, who was
the science teacher of record, was Instructed by me to count the science-related TEKS as
a grade for Science. For Social Studies, the reading teacher, Ms. Bustamante, was
instructed by me to give students Social Studies grades using the non-fiction stories. At
the beginning of the year, the 3
rd
grade Reading teacher stated as one of her Social
Studies goals that she would integrate Reading and Social Studies. The Reading teacher
was also Instructed to teach fiction stories one week and non-fiction stories the other
week so that Social Studies and Reading could be Integrated."
"At the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year, third grade had four sections. The
Reading/Social Studies teachers were Ms, Bustamante and Ms. Aguilera. The
MathlScience teachers were Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Elder. At leveling Ms. Aguilera was
removed from 3
rd
grade and Mr. Elder became the math teacher, Ms. Bustamante the
reading teacher, and Mr. Mitchell the MathlScience teacher. In November 2010, I had a
teacher, Ms. Archbold, return from leave. In November, third grade returned to the same
format as the beginning of the school year with 2 ReadinglSocial Studies teachers and 2
MathlSciance teachers. At that time, gradespead was not changed to reflect the new split
and Mr. Mitchell was still assigned Social Studies, When I was told by Mr. Mitchell that he
was giving Social Studies grades, I informed him that since he does not teach Social
Studies that those grades were false and that he needed to delete the grades. I then
informed Ms. Archbold and Ms. Bustamante that they were responsible for entering the
Social Studies grades by using the non-fiction stories that had been done. There was a
meeting held with the third grade teachers to discuss the grades and when I informed Ms.
Archbold and Ms. Bustamante that they were responsible for Social Studies, Ms. Archbold
became Insubordinate and told me that she was not going to teach Social Studies and I
gave her a directive and told her that she will teach Social Studies because Mr. Mitchell
was not going to teach Math/Science and Social Studies. The science and social studies
curriculum planning guides (CPGs) were not used because students in 3
rd
grade are taking
T AKS for the first time. Many of the students are not used to the T AKS formatted
questions and skills and so they have many concepts and strategies to learn within a
short amount of time. Since teachers and I are responsible for ensuring that stUdents are
successful on the TAKS test, the CPGs are not utilized for science and social studies,
Also, the CPGs are just a guide for teachers. They are not a mandatory tool that teachers
must utilize each day to teach their subject areas."
In reference to grades, I had informed the teacher who pull students out to give those
students grades in that subject area. I have informed the teachers to give the grades to the
teacher of record so that the students will have grades to be entered into gradespeed.
When I moved Ms. Ferrell to 4th grade, It was the end of the six-weeks period and grades
were due. I did tell Ms. Ferrell to either get Ms. Aguilera (who was in 4tl1 grade) to enter the
students' grades, get her to give her the password to enter the grades, or to talk to Ms.
Roberson. When I was called by my Executive Director about this issue, I immediately
went back to the campus and had Ms. Ferrell assigned to the class so that she would be
the teacher of record and have access to inputting grades. In third grade, Ms. Bustamante
had to give Mr. Mitchell social studies grades since he was the teacher of record for social
studies. Ms. Bustamante shared the grades that she received from the students in social
studies with Mr. Mitchell so students could have grades because he was not teaching
social studies,"

other teachers. I was also not aware that it was not proper for teachers to be listed as the
teacher of record and enter grades for a particular subject that they did not teach."
"In reference to gradespeed, the teachers wanted the weights set up differently because
homework was getting more weight than it should. Teachers wanted homework to count
on 10% of the grade instead of being averaged in with classwork. Teachers wanted
gradespeed set up last year with homework being only 10% of the grade and we continued
the practice this year ... "

(EDC) came to my office and told me that Ms. Archbold went to her and told her that she is
not going to give grades to students that she does not teach. I immediately went to get Ms.
Archbold to talk to her about her statement to the EDC. When Ms. Archbold came into my
office, I asked her if I had ever told her to give grades to stUdents that she does not teach
and she said "No" in front of the EDC. I then told her that I just received a call from the
Northwest office stating that Mr. Stewert (sic) told my supervisor that "it was still
happening." Ms. Archbold told me that she could not talk about that and I told her that I
am not asking her about that. What r am asking is why didn't she come to me and ask
about giving grades to students that she does not teach. I did not ask her about the

subjects using District-approved reporting forms and/or software programs. Grading of student
work should be based state- and District-required learning standards and should provide clear
expectations for mastery that are communicated to andlor co-constructed with students. Criteria
for grading should be clearly communicated to parents and displayed in the classroom.
Numerical grades should be derived for the following:
Group and independent student classwork and homework as outlined below;
Formative and summative assessments; and/or .
Project-based learning
Art, music, and physical education teachers will assign grades in their content area for each
grading period of the school year and will not be required to tutor student in foundation subjects
during the regularly scheduled enrichment classes.
Determining Classwork Grades - Classwork should be rigorous, standards-based and
document mastery of content area concepts. Expectations for grading classwork should be
clearly communicated to students and posted in the classroom. Mastery criteria for projects or
other assignments that are used to evaluate multiple concepts should be clearly communicated
to students, using tools such as rubrics or criteria charts.
Grade Weights - Grades will be weighted as follows: C/assworklHomework: 50 percent
(Homework grades recorded if they improve grade average), Tests: 20 percent grade weight,

report), Six-week test grade: 10 percent grade weight.
Guidelines for Standardized Test-Prep/Remediation - Test genre practice for standardized
state assessments may be a part of the preparation process for students, but should not take the
place of rigorous instruction or more open-ended performance-based assessments. Therefore,
the following must be followed regarding the use of test-prep material:
1. Test prep formatted questions can be used as test format models after more rigorous
assessments, which should reflect higher-level thinking.
2. Supplemental test-prep materials can be used, but should not be limited to students who are
in need of intervention in a particular subject area rather than as a general practice for all
students.
3. Students should be placed in tiered intervention programs, based upon their learning needs,
which requires scheduling of academic intervention, tutorials, and the like.
4. Students should not be removed from any required core or enrichment TEKS-based
instruction for the purpose of test preparation/remediation. Short-term focused intervention
tutorials may be scheduled in the three weeks prior to the T AKS test, but should not remove
students from other required instruction without the approval of the campus principal.
5. Parents should be notified if students are removed from any core or enrichment TEKS-based
course or classroom for test preparation and grades for the missed course/Class must reflect
student absence from instruction.

Field Elementary School, directed and caused false school records to be created relating to teachers of
. record, grades of stUdents for subjects not taught, and grades from teachers for students they did not
teach, CARTER also violated Dallas ISD policies when she:

be taught so as to allow more time for teaching mathematics and reading, [EHAB (Legal));
[(EHAB (Local)); [19 TAC §§ 74, 112,14, 113.15)
2. Had the music teacher teach mathematics instead of music, [EHAB (Local)]; [EIA

Report Information

Assigned Tier: Elementary Schools
Case Type: Abuse Of Authority
Creator:
Details-: On November 12 Ms. Carter could clearly be heard over the intercom during the morning
announcements as she was screaming over and over to a student, "You want to fight me'"
On November 1 9 Ms. Carter told the 4th grade students who didn't pass their TAKS relief math test to
throwaway their lunches. The students were then taken to the auditorium where Ms. Carter yelled at
them. Most of these students di{i not eat at all during that school day.
This year there were several students sent back a grade after the school year had already started.
Typically only a couple of students may be sen! back to repeat a grade, but this .year there were 3 or 4
times the normal amount. Every grade in the school sent at least one student back, even if they passed
their TAKS tests. The school is considered an exemplary campus, and so Ms. Carter is probably sending
students back a grade unfairly in order to falsely inflate the TAKS test scores of the students.
Thisy.eBr stu?-ents in the third grade are no1permitted to attend gym, music.Df ad-classes, buLare instead
tutored.oCl math and reading during those times. Social studies and science are net being taughtto the
third .9rade at all this year, but Ms. Carter is makin.9 teachers document that the students are receiving
grades in these subjects. The third fjraders spend half of their day learning math from 2 teachers and then
they focus on reading skills for the other half of the day. Thi s is also part of the push to falsely inflate test
scores, and thus increase funding for the school.
Another violalion of polic}' was when Ms. Carter transferred .all of lhe 4thgracte ,special oeducatiDnsludents
into one class. Ms. Carter assigned ol1e regulai student to thai class. SCi it could offiCially be called a
mixed class, because it is district policy that special education students be integrated into regular classes.
There are many other issues of concern with Ms. Carter that the reporter IS reluctant to explain in this
reporl. because it might reveal their ioentity Ms . Caner IS someone who IS known io be relaliatory against
employees thai cross her. so the reporter is understandably concerned about this Issue.

§112.14. Science, Grade 3, Beginning with School Year 2010-2011.
(a) Introduction.
(1) Science, as defined by the National Academy of Sciences, is the "use of evidence to
construct testable explanations and predictions of natural phenomena, as well as the Imowledge
generated through this process."
(2) RecuITing themes are pervasive in sciences, mathematics, and technology. These ideas
transcend disciplinary boundaries and include patterns, cycles, systems, models, and change and
constancy.
(3) The study of elementary science includes planning and safely implementing classroom and
outdoor investigations using scientific methods, analyzing information, making informed
decisions, and using tools to collect and record information while addressing the content and
vocabulary in physical, earth, and life sciences. Districts are encouraged to facilitate classroom
and outdoor investigations for at least 60% of instructional time.
(4) In Grade 3, students learn that the study of science uses appropriate tools and safe practices
in planning and implementing investigations, asking and answering questions, collecting data by
observing and measuring, and by using models to support scientific inquiry about the natural
world.
(A) Students recognize that patterns, relationships, and cycles exist in matter. Students
will investigate the physical properties of matter and wJIIlearn that changes occur. They
explore mixtures and investigate light, sound, and heat/thermal energy in everyday life.
Students manipulate objects by pushing and pulling to demonstrate changes in motion
and position.
(8) Students investigate how the surface of Earth changes and provides resources that
humans use. As students explore objects in the sky, they describe how relationships
affect patterns and cycles on Earth. Students will construct models to demonstrate Sun,
Earth, and Moon system relationships and will describe the Sun's role in the water cycle.
(e) Students explore patterns, systems, and cycles within environments by investigating
characteristics of organisms, life cycles, land interactions among all components of the
natural environment. Students examine how the environment plays a key role in survival.
Students know that when changes in the environment occur organisms may thrive,
become ill, or perish.
(b) Knowledge and skills.
(1) Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student conduots classroom and outdoor
investigations following school and home safety procedures and environmentally appropriate
practioes. The student is expected to:
(A) demonstrate safe practices as described in the Texas Safety Standards during

Before me, Rex Stewart, personally appeared Laura McMillin a resident in " State
of Texas, on this day at 2909 North Buckner, Dallas, Texas, who after being uly sworn, on oath,
affirms and says:
I have a degree in Family and Child Development as well as a master's degree in counseling. I am
certified in elementary education and counseling. I have been in education for 15 years, all with DISD.
My current assignment is counselor at Tom W. Field Elementary. My employee id number is 21769.
This school year, 2010-2011, In the fall semester all special 4th graders were moved into
one classroom along with one regular education Because there was one
regular education student the class was not considered a ucation class. These students did
not rotate classes as the other 4th grades classes did. Maricarmen Solis was the self contained
teacher for that class. I am estimating the class was together for 6 weeks around October and
November. Since that time the one regular education student! . has qualified for special
education and is receiving services.
This school year, 2010-2011, there are four 3
m
grade teachers, Ms. Archbold, Ms. Bustamante, Mr.
Elder and Mr. Mitchell. Students rotate between three teachers. They have two classes of math (Mr.
Elder and Mr. Mitchell) then language arts. Students are also tutored during their gym, music, art, and
computer time in math. When I was looking for a student during specials time I went to the music
room and Ms. Paper, the music teacher, was using an overhead projector teaching math and the
students had math worksheets.
During an LPAC meeting in January 2011 Ms. Carter told Ms. Archbold and Bustamante to give the
student's science and social studies grades for the 6 weeks. Archbold and Bustamante had bean
teaching reading. Carter stated she had Mr. Elder and Mr. Mitchell who were teaching math; delete
the science and social studies grades they had entered. Carter instructed Archbold and Bustamante
to enter science and social studies grades and for them to use nonfiction passages to justify the
grades. Ms. Archbold said she could not give grades for something she has not taught. Ms. Carter
told her, "I am giving you a directive." Ms. Carter, Ms. Archbold and Ms. Bustamante met privately in
Ms. Carter's office after that meeting.
This school year, 2010-2011 , more than 25% of 3
rd
grade has been referred to SST for academic
reasons. 26% of the entire 3
111
grade has been referred to special education for testing. There were an
estimated 4-6 students placed back in the 2

grade after starting the school year as a 3rd grader.
This school year, 2010-2011 , every grade (1

This school year, 2010-2011 around February, Ms. Ferrell the PPCD teacher was moved to 4th grade
to teach math. Mr. Perea teaches math too and Mr. Apodaca teaches reading and writing. The 4th
grade science and social studies teacher was moved to teach 5
1h
grade science in the fall.
When Ms. Ferrell was moved to 4th grade, Ms. Harrison, a previous PPCD teaoher and a current 2
nd
grade teacher was moved to PPCD. Rumors of Ms. Harrison being rough with the PPCD students
have been circulating since she came to the school. Last school year, 2009-2010, Ms. Harrison's
aide, Ms. Garza, was seen spanking one of the students. Ms. Garza has resigned. One rumor of Ms.
Harrison was that she woke students up by pulling the mats out from under them. The PPCD
students are non-verbal and would be unable to tell of any mistreatmenl
I was told that some of the am and S1h grade teachers were told by Ms. Carter to send home the social
studies and science benchmarks. She did not want them wasting class time in the subjects not being
tested by TAKS.
Some teachers were told to exchange usemame and passwords to enter grades and attendance.
Some teachers on record differ from the actual teacher in the classroom.

I was nice to see you yesterday. I wish I could have had some time to speak with you. Would it be helpful
to have Lynda Hardwick's lesson plans? I do not know what grade or subject she is listed as teaching but
she has been teaching 5th grade science ali year. Mr. Gonzalez, taught 5th grade science with her as well,
but was listed as the 4th grade science teacher. I do not know of science being taught In 3rd or 4th grade
and I am unaware of social studies being taught at all.
I hope this is helpful.
Take care,

District
Before me, Rex Stewart, personally appeared Rachael Paper a resident in _. "
State of Te)C8s, on this day at 2909 North Buckner, Dallas, Texas, who after befng duly sworn, on
oath, affirms and says:
I have completed my Undergraduate degree at the University of Iowa in Music Performance and I
also have a Master Degree in Music Perfonnance from the University of North Texas. I have
completed my Teaching Certification for Music EC-12 and have been teaching elementary general
music for 4 years. I have been teaching in the Dallas ISD for 4 years. My current assignment is the
general music teacher at Tom W. Field Elementary School. My employee number is #61751.
At the beginning of the school year 201 0-2011, I was teaching music to third grade for specials.
!··bViElVer, ! received an e-mail from Ms. Carter requesting that I start tutoring math for some third
grade students during third grade specials. After that, I tutored math during 3
rd
grade specials until
the T AKS test which was April 26, 2011. I was able to give them a music grade for the first six weeks
since I did see them for music for a few weeks. After that, I gave them all 95 since I never got to see
them in music again. I enter music grades on gradespeed for aIl2"d_51h grade students at Tom W.
Field Elementary School. I am the only one with my gradespeed password and no one else has my
password. I will be forwarding the e-mails that Ms. Carter sent about the math tutoring during
specials to Rex Stewart.
I was called into the Ms. Carter's office sometime in the fall. I was asked if anyone complained to
downtown through Inside Track. I think it was something about holding students back a grade level.
Ms. Carter said that it was not true. I told her that no one talked to me about it and that it must have
been reported through the inside track website. I was instructed by Ms. Carter to let the staff know to
only report District issues to Inside Track and problems within Field should be resolved on-campus
since It will come back to the school anyway. Ms. Carter told me that there wllf be two boxes placed
in the Teachers Lounge and teachers could put school concerns in those boxes. I was told by Ms.
Carter that problems related to the school should stay at the school. I was told by Ms. Carter that
issues that are District-Wide should be the issues reported to Inside Track. I then was asked to
speak about how to/where to report problems during a staff meeting. (The meeting was mainly
second grade and possibly some other grade-level teachers. I did not know that I was supposed to
speak. I was asked on the spot. I was at the meeting because I missed the meeting that the specials
team had with Ms. Carter and I was asked to join the meeting with the other teachers.)

This is a very rugb stakes year and we cannot afford to have students' TAKS scores drop in third
grade. I have looked at reeding and math assessments and I am very disappointed. There is much
work to be done in Reading and Math and these two subjects have to be the focus.
ALSO if kids are not showing their work or erasing the work, points need to be taken off.
Please make sure students are well monitored during the upcoming benchmarks by making sure

Affidavit
Before me, Rex Stewart, personally appeared Laura Bustamante a resident in
State of Texas, on this day at 2909 North Buckner, Dallas, Texas, who after
oath, affirms and says:
Independent
DaUas D
School
District
My name is Laura Giovanna Bustamante, a graduate of the University of North Texas with a degree
in Marketing from the school of Business as well as an International Business Certificate. I have been
in the teaching profession for DaUas ISO for the past 5 years. I received my teaching certificate.
through the Dallas ISO AC Program in 2006. My current teachingrrosltion for this 2010-2011 school
year is at Tom W. Field Elementary. My teaching assignment is 3 Grade Reading teacher. My
employee 10 57556.
There were a lot of changes this year in the 3rCS Grade; students were moved from one grade to
another because of low achievement grades (even after passing the TAKS test). After low
performance on the Benchmark test, students were split into a boy class and a ~ i r l class. The boys
ware told that it was because of their lower results. DUring this time we ware asked to Student
Support Team many students, a few qualified but many didn't, In fact, we were reprimanded by Ms.
Carter when we said that the kids ware improving. Every time we give an assessment we send a
running record with all the grades the students have gotten on their tests to the principal so she has
the results. When !he students were falling we were asked to SST them. Even though the students
were failing. they were showing progress and that is why we would say at meetings that they were
progressing. We were still told to SST them. Because of the students lack of improvement they were
tutored in Mathematics in' the mornings almost every day. The students did not receive music
instruction instead the music teacher Ms. Paper tutored them in Math as well but the students still
received a music grade. In addition to the tutoring during specials, our students received more than 4
hours if not 5 of Mathematics instruction and only 1 hour and 50 minutes of Reading (when we at
least need 2 hours). In a three way rotation, they had two sessions of Math and one of Reading. It
was unfair when we were asked why our students were not improving as quiokly as desired and the
methods we were using to resolve this issue. When we returned from Christmas break I was cc'd on
an email that was directed to Mr. Elder and Mr. Mitchell to delete all the grades they had given for
Social Studies that it was now my responsibility to give Social Studies Grades. I was concerned about
the email because we already don't have enough time to teach Reading and I thought I was being
asked to teach Social Studies. ( replied by asking If this emali meant that Ms. Archbold and I were
going to have an addItional 45 minutes to teach Social Studies. The reply to my question was NO.
That we were to use our nonfiction stories as grades for Social Studies. A few days after at an LPAC
meeting in front of Mr McGowan (LPAC Chair), Mr. Elder, Mr. Mitchell, Ms. McMillin, Ms. Archbold
and I, Ms. Carter brought up the subject again, were she showed and told us she was upset about the
email I sent, she said that she was NOT asking us to make up grades that she Simply wants us to use
nonfiction stories as the Social Studies grades. We said that not all nonfiction is Social Studies. Some
of our stories are based on Science and others in Math or Astronomy (not everything is Social
Studies). When Ms. Archbold and I refused she got very heated and said that it was a directive. Then
she told us to go to her office after the meeting. When we walked into her office she said that our
attitude "sucks" and that she was tired of us talking behind people's backs (which was a surprise to

us) then she continued to say that she was NOT asking us to make up Social Studies grades just to
use nonfiction stories. Then she said that she didn't like our attitude and reminded Ms. Archbold that
her attitude in the other room at the meeting where she made a face at her (when Ms. Carter said that
we didn't have time to teach Social Studies right now and the kids needed more than 4 hours of Math)
was rude and that next year she would make her self contained, Ms. Archbold replied "I won't be
here" and Ms, Carter said "Good". At the end of the meeting Ms. Archbold and I both apologized if Wf3
had been disrespectful, that we didn't mean to be. That's when Ms. Archbold told Ms, Carter she was
..-tagain, Ms. Carter told Archbold that she was awesome that is was just a disagreement and
~ r a hug. Ms. Archbold and I were both sent a follow up where we are told that Ms. Carter will
be checking that we enter Social Studies grades. Some of the students that qualified for SPED are
bilingual students, due to the fact that TAKS -M is only available in English 5 Bilingual students were
temporarily placed in the Gen Ed classroom to practice In English. They have been returned to
Bilingual classrooms. To my knowled,ge there Is one Bilingual boy that was allowed to take the
Science Benchmark home · by Mr. Elder.

FAC complaint
From: RoslYTl Carter
To: Faculty and Staff
Date: Sunday - October 17, 201010:01 AM
Subject: FAC complaint
Good morni.ng. For the month of September 2010, there was ONE PAC concern:
"Meetings go pust 3:35"
Here is my answer to that complaint:
Board Policy allows teachers 45 minutes per day to plan, meet with parents, collaborate with peers, address student concems, etc.
Tom Field teachers receive 60 minutes per day, which amounts to 15 extra Inlntues per day. If you multiply 15x5, that equals to 75
extra minutes per week. If you mUltiply 7Sx4, that equals to 300 minutes per month. Also, you leave each Friday at 3:00. This is 35
minutes before you are required to leave. If you multiply 35x4, that equals to 140 extra minutes. When you add 140+300 minutes per
month, that is equivalent to over 7 hours of extra timel
It is very frustrating to see that concern being mentioned as an PAC complaint when our K-2 academic program is LOW
PERFORM1NG. The complaint SHOULD be why is our K·2 program LOW PERFORMlNG and how can we help raise the level of
instnlction so that at least 90% of our K·2 students are above th 40th %tile in Math and Reading? The extra 7 hours are really needed
and should be utilized so we can stop failing our kids and figure out how to help them learn. Many timos I walk by rooms during
planning and teachers are sitting in their classrooms with the lights off. Your planning period is not a meditation hOUT.
ALSO, ] DO NOT W ANrTO WALK BY CLASSROOMS AND LIGHTS ARE OPF WI-TEN STUDENTS ARE IN" 11-IERE.
WHY????!!II
Please tRke some time to reflect on why you are in the teaching profession. If you are here only because you want summers off, you
want to leave work at 3:35 (on the dot) to miss traffic, pick up kids, etc., or you are counting down the days/years to retirement,
maybe Tom Field is not the place for you.
, j.> We have students who are in an educational crisis and we should all be alarmed and apalled at what is happening to them and to their
-/f lives. It is up to us to do something about it. NO EXCUSES. We are not here for adult employment, we are here for our students and
their achievement.
I of I
~ > There is no supelman coming to save these kids (yes, I saw the movie and so should you). We are their heroes and heroes dont
~ I' complain about the time and effort that it takes. Heroes just do what they need to do. Period.

1 truly do not see the need to meet at 4:30. 111is meeting is just to have a documented date on which all parties related to these
students agreed that they are failing and need further help. Obviously the teachers already know that these st11l1ents need to be SST,
but since L.P A C did not meet in the past concerning these students, 1 will have to have signatul'es that we met. Th is pl'ocess should

Good morning. I am noticing that students are just marking an "x" beside an answer that they think is wrong. This is not acceptable.
From this day forward, I want to see students put "No" if they think an answer is wrong AND the reason why. I do not want to just
see "No" Bnd I never want to see an "x".
Students need to increase their 1Detacognitive skills and the only way to do this is for them to explain their thinking on their
answers. Students' thinking need to be pushed at all times and t h l ~ y need to know that you will not accept anything less than excellent
when it come to their work.

I do like the format that Ms. Bustllmante uses that shows the running record of all assessments and fluency probes for all students in
reading. J do want to see this from both of you each time that an assessment is given. I need for you to continue to keep me
informed of perfoffilance on ALL assessments that are givel) to students. I am very concerned with the lWlount of students who are
failing reading and it does not seem to be addressed properly. TIle reading results that r currently have are cause fur COl1cem and
should not be ignored.
Ms. Bustamante please share your running record of assessments, etc. with Ms. Archbold so that I can receive the results in the same
fonnat from both of you.

Third grade has SSTd over 13 students this scbool year and 4 students have qualified so far. Students are not performing well, are not

2nd grade teacher's classroom for an hour. The meeting is to discuss SSTs, small group instruction, knowing your students, what
students need to mow prjor to leaving 2nd grade, etc.
Th ird grade teachers, please prepare for this meeting by knowing what 2nd grade teachers need to emphasize in the areas of math,
writing, and reading before the end of this school year.

To follow up on our conversation from yestel'day, I just want to clarify that I do expect students to continue working on non-fiction
te>Cts to count liS social studies grades for the 3rd six weeks report cards. Ms. Bustamante can provide grades for the non-fiction
stories that she has done thus far so that Ms. Archbold can enter grades into gradespeed for the 31'd six-weeks. (It is very hard for me
to believe that Ms. Archbold has not done any non-fiction stories since teaching the students). Each of you will collaborate to give
social studies grades 011 the upcoming report card. I will check to make sure grades are entered on gradespeed from each of you in
the arca of social studie!:. .

Affidavit
Before me, Rex Stewart, personally appeared Lilian Archbold a resident in ,
state of Texas, on this day at 2909 North Buckner, Dallas, Texas, who after being duly sworn, on
oath, affirms and says:
I am Lilian Archbold, graduated on May 2004 from University of Texas at EI Paso with B.S in
Clinical Laboratory Science. I completed the Alternative Certification with Dallas Independent School
District on 2008. My employee 10 is 60439. I am currently certified as an EC-4 bilingual teacher. I
teach third grade language Arts at Tom W. Field Elementary.
I came back from leave after been gone 12 weeks on November 10
11
\ 2010. My assignment
was third grade Reading Language Arts. 'When I came back students were on B three way rotation. I
ignore for how long since Ms. Salls was also teaching third grade at the beginning of the school year.
Mr. Elder was teaching Math, Mr. Mitchell was assigned with Social Studies and Science and Ms.
Bustamante Language Reading Arts. We kept this three way rotation until February 14th, 2011. On
January 3r1! 2011 I received an email (attached to this Affidavit) from Ms Carter asking Mr. Mitchell to
delete any Social Studies grades since Ms. Bustamante and I were now responsible for Social
studies grades. Ms. Bustamante replied to that email asking if we were also getting the additional 45
minutes for Social Studies Instruction. No replay to that email from Ms. Carter. However on January
4th during a LPAC meeting Ms. Carter asked us what was that email about. I told her that may be It
would be better If Mr. Mitchell leave the grades already entered in grade speed since he has. been
teaching Social ShJdies. Ms. Carter clarified to me that Mr. Mitchell has been only teaching Math and
not Social Studies 'or Science. Ms. Carter got very irritated with my suggestion. Ms. Carter said that I
was going to enter grades for S.S without discussion and that I could use nonfiction stories as S.S
grades. I told her that I was going to enter grades only for a subject or material that I teach and I
refused to enter grades for social studies since I do not teach Social Studies. Ms. Carter left the
room. Few minutes later she called Ms. Bustamante and I into her office and told me that I had a
horrible attitude and that It was a directive to enter grades for Social Studies. I refused again she was
completely out of control yelling at me and told me that she was not asking me to do anything illegal.
After few minutes arguing I told her that I w ~ only going to enter grades for social studies if the
material was Social Studies related. Ever since, I have been very careful choosing the Social Studies
assignments and all the student work completed I have If in a box in my room. To input Social Studies
grades I asked Ms. Estrada to add Social Studies roster-to my Gradespeed to avoid sharing
passwords with anyone. Ms. Estrada added the raster on January 4

Social Studies grades around April 4th since we were on T AKS mode. On April 29 n we want back to
three way rotation. Ms. Carter asked me to tutor two 5
th
grade students for two weeks until the
reading TAKS retake on May 16
th
. Ms. Bustamante asked Ms. Estrada to add my third grade
Language Reading Arts and S.S roster to her Gradespeed to avoid sharing passwords. I am not
giving grades to the S" grade students. d /11' / ~

When was this decided? Social Studies is not asSigned to us, we do not teach it, since we were not aware of this
matter we do not have grades for it. Does this mean that we are getting an additional 45 minutes for Social

".is ~ o t h e r fifth grade student who I tutored last year) I told her that last year I wrote
special lesson plans for the substitute teacher with specific instructions and I left aU the materials
ready for her to use. Also last year I returned to my classroom after 11 :30 therefore I had about
15 minutes to summarized and conclude the lesson. I also was responsible for grading their
work" However I do not remember if I entered grades or not for those two weeks. Ms Carter
suggested me to do the same thing this year just that instead of having a substitute teacher Ms.
Bustamante would be teaching my class and I would be responsible for grading their work. Then
Ms. Carter added with mocking and sarcastic tone "How hard is that Ms. Archbold?" "Or tell me
what to do so you would be happy! Don't you realize that I notice that you and Ms Bustamante
use the same lesson plan? Tell me what to do!!!" I replied that it was her call to tell me what to
do. I told her that I just asked a question and I did not understand her reaction. She said that to
avoid more "complaints" and "false accusations against her" I would go back to my assignment
and no more fifth grade tutoring, Ms. Cater also accused me of making up lies and starting this
investigation against her. I honestly feel retaliated, harassed, intimidated and like a escape goat. I
have simply complied to the requests of Mr. Stewart.
Ms. Estrada was present during this meeting and witnessed all what happened. Ms. Estrada was
very upset with the whole situation and she could not understand her reaction. Ms. Estrada
explained that she needed to know what to do since any changes on the system would take two
week to readjust and by the time I get my kids back into my roster the school year would be
over. I suggested to ber to go back to her office and write in a piece 0 paper all what she
witnessed and can remember.

Friday 6
th
, 2011 8:05 a.m.
I was running late to work; I called Liza Murillo to let her know that I was about 5 minutes late.
Veronica Estrada answered the phone and suggested me to call Ms. Carter instead, however, I did
not understand her due to the fact that I was nervous, I had the phone on speakerphone. Therefore I
did not call. Five minutes later I was at school thumbing in when Ms. Estrada told me that Ms. Carter
wanted to talk to me. Once in her office, Ms. Carter asked me why I had such a defiant attitude. I tried
to apologize for being late and made an attempt to explain but Ms. Carter interrupted "the problem is
not that you are late but your insubordinate attitude". I honestly was a little confused. Then Ms. Carter
added UMs. Estrada told you to called me and you did not call me. I was standing right next to her
when she told you to call me". Then I realized what happened. I tried to explain to Ms. Carter that the
reason I did not call was because [ did not hear Veronica's advice. I apologized about not calling her
but she told me that I could stop lying to her. Then Ms. Carter added "I do not understand what this is
all this about. I am still trying to figure it out. However I know it is you who started all this". Ms. Carter
also asked me "why are you taking revenge against me, what I have done to you that you are doing
all this to me". I replied "I do not know what you are talking about". Ms Carter in an irately tone told
me "stop lying to me Mrs. Archbold I know it is youl Tell me what I have done to you that you' want to
take vengeance against me. I do not understand, I have been a good principal to you and have given
you good evaluations. I am not a bully or an intimidating person. Alii want is to know what the
problem is so I can fix it. I am not a very affectionate person but if that is what you need ['II do it. But
tell me why you are doing this to me" then Ms. Carter she asked me "What do you want Ms.
Archbold?, Why you don't come to me when you have a problem" I told her all I wanted was to come
to school, do my job and go home at the end of the day without conflicts. I also added that when I
had a problem in the past with her I talked to her about it. Therefore I could not understand why she
was saying all those things about me. I apologized many times about the fact that I was late and did
not call her directly. However she would not let it go, she kept repeating the same thing over and
over. I felt extremely pressured and harassed by all her questioning and the fact that she does not
believe me; instead she blames me for everything that is happening to her. Ms. Carter stopped
harassing me when I broke down and began to bawl. Then Ms. Carter hugged me and told me that all
she wanted was to "fix things".
As r said before in a previous email I honestly feel retaliated, harassed, intimidated and like an
escape goat. I am and 1 think this is not a healthy work environment; I am
extremely stressed, under pressure, bewildered about this situation and low spirited.

Affidavit
Dallas D Independent
School .
District
Before me, Rex stewart, personally appeared Tina Roberson a resident in , State
of Texas, on this day at 2909 North Buckner, Dallas, Texas, who after being duly sworn, on oath,
affinns and says:
I am a graduate of Sam Houston State University and I have a Masters in Educational Administration
from Prairie View A & M University. I have taught in Dallas ISD for 21 of my 22 years of experience.
I am currently the Math Instructional Coach and GradeSpeed administrator at Tom W. Field
Elementary.
I was moved. to second grade at the end of the third six weeks. Ms Carter told me the move was in
response to the low TAKS Release scores in fourth grade. Ms Carter informed me that she was
moving Ms Ferrell to fourth from PPCD to assist with math, Ms Harrison to PPCD, wliich left second
grade open and I was needed to fill this slot. I asked Carter how she wanted to handle grades and
attendance because I did not have access to either the Chancery system or to GradeSpeed. Carter
asked if as the administrator couldn't I just input the grades. I infonned her that I have read only
access to all grade books. Carter then said that I could either give the grades to Ms Harrison to enter
or Ms Harrison could give me her login information for both Chancery and GradeSpeed. Ms Harrison
did not want to enter the grades herself, so she plrovided me with the login for both sites. After about
a week Ms Ferrell told me she was uncomfortable using Me Aguilera's login information and could I
give her a personal login to GradeSpeed. I informed her that those changes had to be done though
downtown and Veronica Estrada the eRC had to change the teachers in the system and then she
could request access. The CRC cannot make any assignment changes without the prior approval of
Me Carter. I also told her I had previously discussed personal access with Carter and Ms Carter said
to just use the loglns of the other teacher. Ms Ferrel[ said she would go talk to Carter again and tell
her how uncomfortable she was with the arrangement. The next week, I was told by Veronica
Estrada, the eRC, that I had been switched to the teacher of record for the second grade class so I
needed to request access to the Chancery system. GradeSpeed access was added to my current
account.
In my position as GradeSpeed administrator, I am aware of students receiving grades from teachers
who are not the teacher of record. The teachers were told by Ms Carter to either give the grades to
the teacher of record or use the login information for that teacher to assign the grades in the
GradeSpeed system. At the beginning of the year, I received an emaH from Ms Carter stating the
grading scale for the new year. I replied to her email saying that I did not think that har scale was the
same as the district scale I had received from Mirriarn Coleman-Harris in the Northwest community
office. I emailed my Coleman-Harris and she sent me to correct scale. I forwarded this information to
Carter and her response was ok, but hers was the scale she wanted to use. I am also aware that
90% of the third grade student population did not attend special classes this year because they have
been in TAKS tutoring. I was one of the teacher providing the tutoring both during the school day and
after school for the first 4 six weeks. The music teacher Ms Paper was pulled by Ms Carter and was
tutoring math instead of teaching music to these students. Despite never attending these classes all
students received a grade for each course for the entire school year. These same students have not

been taught science and until recently, did not receive instruction in social studies. Again, these
students have all received grades in both of these content areas. I have spoken to several teachers
and the eRe to communicate that entering grades for students in areas where they have not received
instrucfion and using the login information of another professional is unethical and Illegal. I also
informed them that report cards are legal documents and In doing either of the above is falsifying
records. The overwhelming response was that we are all aware that these practices are
unacceptable but our hands are tied because we have been directed to perform these duties by Ms
Carter. During the second round of benchmark testing, third grade and fifth grade students were
given their benchmark test to take home and complete as homework and then the scores were used
as a grade.
There was an incident was a student at the beginning of the year by the name a his
last name was He wa nd seeing a doctor in the beginning steps of
diagnosis. He was in pretty constant trouble. The step-father finally said that he realized was
an issue that could not be resolved. He said that if the younger sister who had been moved down to
second grade from third grade would be moved back to third, he would take both of the kids out of the
school. Carter agreed and finally had the girl moved back up to third grade. At which point, the step-
father completed the hardship papers and brought them for Carter to sign. Carter ripped the papers
up and threw them In the trash. I was in Veronica's office when Carter called to say that he needed a
new set of papers. The step-father came in and told us what had happened and that the reason she
tore the papers up was that she did not like that he had put the real reason for transferring the kids on
the document He then stated that It was okay, because he had a copy of them at home and he had
already been in contact with Hector Lopez in the Northwest Learning Community Office.
At the end of February, there was an incident with a stude He was caught
taking a french fry from his teacher's desk. Ms Bustamante was n and Mr. Elder
intervened and brought in Ms Carter. Ms Carterflew into a rage and from school.
Carter called the mother and told him he was no longer welcome at the needed to find
him another school. The mother should use someone else's address to get him in somewhere, but
he eQuid not come back. After having no success finding another school, the mother complained to
the Northwest Learning Community office. I walked in the office around 5pm one evening and Carter
was ranting to Mr. Elder she was saying, al want you to listen to this bull shit! I am so sick of these
mother tuckers I I wish I could just kill them alii This damn T E mother just will not go away
quietlyl Usten to this shit! Must want you to hear thisl I assume she began to read; Today we
received a calf from a7 .. : At this I hurriedly clocked out and left the
building. I did not want them to know I was there and had overheard Carter's tirade.
I will forvvard to Inspector Stewart any emails relative to the above information to be included with this

Re: Special Education Concern
Date: May 10, 2011
This week I became aware of one of my former qualifying for special education
services. My concern is, in being her second grade classroom teacher; I felt academic
problems were based in self-confidence and anxiety. She is very capable, but when she is assessed, she
falls apart. She has stated that she just gets nervous and It's (the test) is too much to do. However, with
constant praise and reassurance, she is able to produce, Her third grade reading teachers Ms
Bustamante and Ms An:habold agreed that anxiety, focus and self-confidence were the issues. Ms
Carter reacted violently to this and called the two reading teachers to her office for a private meeting.
Mr. Elder insisted that she had a learning disability and told is qrthat she needed to be tested,
•• reported that she could not do the work and she needed to be tested. When asked why she
thought this, she commented that Mr. Elder told her. 17k mother also expressed a concern about
her anxiety and focus. In working with her at home she would lose focus easily or become easily
overwhelmed and start crying. She requested assistance and wanted to follow up on the attention issue
despite Mr. Elder's insistence of learning disability. At the SST meetings fOI b when we voiced
these issues, Ms Carter had a fit and said, "I don't wanna hear anything else about.oj •• ,. , or
anything elsel It just slows down the testing and I want these kids tested." So after that, I did not
record any issues of attention or behavior for any student on the SST minutes. I am the SST committee
secretary. Outside ofthe SST meetlngsf Fj lIt:Uother was given a referral to the Kiosko Clinic so she
eQuid be evalyated by a psychiatrist for anxiety and attention. It is my understanding that through her
appointments she was identified as havi was prescribed
291 ' iFrhis information was omitted from the report and iSWItal to the correct diagnosis of the
student. Special Education would not have testedLI $ iuntli she had been several
weeks and her behavior on theCr .had been documented. My concern is that a child has been
tested and labeled as a speeral education student because we were not allowed to share all of the
info rmation available to us that was in the true interest of the student involved.

Before me, Rex Stewart, personally appeared Michael Harrison a resident i ......... ...
State of Texas, on this day at 2909 North Buckner, Dallas, Texas, who after being duly sworn, on
oath, affirms and says:
I am a graduate of University of North Texas and am certified Special Education EC - 12 and
General Education EC - 4. I have been with Dallas ISD for 4 years, and I currently teaching 2
nd
Math
and Science at Tom Field Elementary.
When paid performance was being turned in, I was in Ms. Carter's office to get a copy of my
observations from 2009-2010 school year. This was the first time she mentioned that she wanted to
move Ms. Ferrell into 4th grade and me back into the Preschool Programs for Children with
Disabilities. At the time, I expressed that I was uncomfortable because of the paperwork that Special
Education teachers have to complete and that I was not the students' case manager. A couple of
weeks later, she emaliedmetosaythatMs. Ferrell would be staying where she was. However, at
the end of January, first of February, Ms. Carter came to my classroom. She informed me that she
was going to place me into the Preschool Program and move Ms. Ferrell to 4th Math so that she could
get the students ready for T AKS. Then she informed me that Ms. Roberson, the math instructional
coach for K_2"d, would be teaching my classes until' returned. , told her that I was not going to argue.
J was moved into the Program for Children with Disabilities on February 21, 2011. I was
moved back into 2
nd
grade on April 25, 2011. While in the Preschool classroom, I worked off of the
paper IEPs that Ms. Ferrell gave me and presented information at 2-3 AROs. All official information
was done by Ms. Ferrell based off information we discussed. To complete attendance for Chancery,
Ms. Ferrell was told by Ms. Estrada, the eRe, to exchange passwords. Ms. Estrada said that Ms.
Carter had told her to tell us that because we would still be the teacher of record for the class even
though we were not in there. Ms. Ferrell gave me her login and password for Chancery, and I gave
my information to Ms. Roberson.
Another incident that I observed was 3rd grade was not teaching Science. t first started
noticing this after a meeting that was held with Ms. Carter. She had sent out an email asking why we
were not teaching science in Kindergarten through Second and that it was not fair that Ms. Harwick,
the 5
th
grade Science teacher, had to work so hard. She called us in after school to discuss this
matter. After the meeting. Ms. Reed and I started observing third grade. Ms. Reed is in the same
hallway and can hear and see more than I can. I really noticed that Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Elder were
not teaching Science because of walk-throughs that we did during our planning time. Also, every
time I walked past their' classrooms, Mr. Elder was teaching math from old TAKS tests and Mr.
Mitchell was teaching the Math CPGs.
During leveling, Ms. Aguilar was placed on record as being a second grade teacher, but she
never taught second grade. I know about this because Ms. Estrada, the CRe lady, would walk to
each classroom to take attendance for the students that were on Ms. Aguilar's roster. I asked Ms.
Estrada jf this was right and she told me to stay out of it because she was just doing as she was toid
by Ms. Carter.
During a meeting within the first two six weeks, Ms. Carter stated that she did not care if the
students went to speciais including P. E. because the students were so academically low that they
needed to worK on Math and Reading. She also said that jf she could legally keep them from lunch,

she would because they were so academically low. As the year has progressed, most of the third
grade students have missed specials because they were in tutoring. Ms. Paper, the music teacher,
do not teach music to third grade. She was told she had to tutor Math and Reading.
Weeks before Christmas Break, Ms. Carter called a meeting for Kindergarten through
Second grade teacher. Once everyone was in the conference room, she stormed in asking who had
reported her for switching students around to make T AKS scores. When no one said anything, she
had Ms. Paper explain the "proper" way to report concerns within the sohool. The next day, I was
asked to Ms. Carter's office. There she asked me directly If I was the one who had reported her and
If I had a problem with her. I was not the one who reported her. I was upset and called my union
that evening. .
Working at Tom Field with Ms. Carter has bean very stressful. She was created a very
hostile work environment where teachers are afraid to talk to one another. Being there for three
years, I have seen her run off several veteran teachers and any teacher that questioned her thinking.

Certified in EC-4, Bilingual Education and ESL. Product of the Dallas ISO Alternative Certification
Program. I've been teaching for five years but four years with Dallas ISO at Tom W. Field Elementary.
My ID number is 60577.
This 2010-2011 school year I started with third grade (Language Arts and Social Studies - teacher of
record) but because of numbers was moved to teach a small group in fourth grade (Self-Contained -
NOT teacher of record). To the best of my knowledge five out of my eight students were Special Ed
and in my fourth grade small group class (gave some grades to the Special Ed. Teacher but didn't
record grades in grade-speed). After a few weeks my aSSignment changed once again and I became
the teacher of record for fourth grade Science and Social Studies. Later on, I was asked to assist the
fifth grade Language Arts teacher and worked with the Gen. Ed group. I worked with this group of
students for about six weeks before they took the TAKS Reading test Once I began my new
assignment (assisting the fifth grade teacher) I was no longer the teacher of record for fourth grade
Science end Social studies. After the fifth grade students took the TAKS Read jng Test I was asked to
be the pre-k teacher. I am currently the pre-k teacher of record at Tom W. Field Elementary.
While I '''tas the teacher of record for fourth grade I taught both Science and Social Studies using
KAMICO practices and T AKS Ready Practices. I also used both the Science and Social Studies texts
to teach different reading concepts such as main idea, inference, chronological order, main Character,
vocabulary and supporting details etc.

, also have hours from University of Illinois, Springfield (formerly Sangamon State University) that
enabled me to become a certified Elementary Education Teacher.
I have been in the teaching profession for 19 years (as of this year). All of this time has been with
Dallas Independent School District.
My current assignment is at John H. Reagan. I am a third grade Math Science Teacher.
My ID is #3219
At the beginning of the year, the third grade met (Mr. Elder, Mr. Mitchell, Ms. Solis·AguJlera, and Ms.
Bustamante. It was agreed that Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Elder would teach Math and Science. Ms. Solis-
Aguilera and Ms. Bustamante would teach Language Arts and Social Studies. This was agreed upon
and printed (and blown up and laminated) for the Third Grade Goals 2010-2011.
After leveling, Ms. Solis moved to another grade level, third grade became a three way split. I became
a Math teacher, Mr. Mitchell was teaching Science and Social Studies. Ms. Bustamante was teaching
Langauge Arts. This allowed us to have 1 hour 50 minutes.
In November, Ms. Archbold returned to Field Elementary School from leave. At that time, and through
changes, Social Studies appeared on gradespeed for Mr. Mitchell and for me (Mr. Elder).
I was planning lessons With the principal and Mr. Mitchell ask to come into the office to speak with the
principal. He infonned the principal that Social Studies was appearing on Grade Speed. I added that it
was on my Gradespeed as well. The principal said that she did not want Mr. Mitchell or me to be
giving Social Studies grades. She asked that third grade meet
At the meeting, the principal said that she did not want Social Studies grades to be given by Mr.
Mitchell of by me (Mr. Elder). Ms. Archbold asked that we give Social Studies grades. Ms. Carter said
that the Reading Teachers were supposed to be giving Social Studies grades, and that this could be
done through both "Time for Kids" and non-fiction stories. Ms. Archbold was very rude with the
prinCipal about this and Ms. Carter told her she was not asking her to make up or falsify grades. She
told her she needed to give the Social Studies grades. Ms. Archbold was being very disrespectful with
the principal. The conversation continued in the office with the principal, Ms. Archbold and Ms.
Bustamante.

During this time period, I was teaching Math and Science. The Science was integrated into the
Mathematics. I was not teaching the Science curriculum according the the CPG (Curriculum Planning
Guide).
When we had a 3 way split, we had 1 hour 50 minutes, as noted above. When we had a two way
split, we taught for 2 hours 45 minutes.
There have been times this year, through test results and prOfiling that we have had to make
adjustments with where students were. During those times, I have had to share grades with Mr.
Mitchell and Mr. Mitchell has given grades with me. Students were on GradeSpeed according to our
eEl roster. We shared grades because we don't have access to other teacher's grades and records.
Also, the times we made changes according to student needs, we might serve a student who was
not on our CEI. The question has arisen as to whether we have shared passwords. I have not given
Mr. Mitchell my password and he has not given me his password.
I do not believe I have sent home any Math benchmark tests If a student was ill, I may have sent a
science benchmark test home with them the following day.

My job duties include enrOlling and withdrawing students, print report cards, check to see that
everyone submitted attendance, send and receive records daily, and at the end of the each six weeks
I import and export grades for the report cards. If grades come from another school I input those
grades to the data base.
I have no access to Grade Speed. Some teachers have come to me and asked me If they
could share their Grade Speed password with another teacher because some students name is on
another teacher's roster and grades need to be input A teacher cannot input a student's grades
unless the student is on that teacher's roster. Teachers should not share passwords. I told them to
follow Ms. Carter's instructions. I also redirect them to Ms. Roberson. I do not do anything without
Ms, Carter's approval. I do not move students without Ms. Carters approval. The students are moved
around between different teachers without telling me.
I have heard Ms. Carter tell a parent to withdraw a student when the student did not live in
the area. I have not heard Ms. Carter use inappropriate language with a parent. Ms. Carter is very
striot about everything. She is all about getting the students to where they should be in their
education wise. She does get onte the students about their homework and also about dress code.

I have an undergraduate degree from University of Texas at Arlington and a graduate degree from
Texas Woman's University and I have been in the teaching profession for eleven years and I have
worked for Dallas ISD for eleven years. My employee id # is 037521.
For the 2010-2011 school year and prior years, I did direct third and fifth graders to not attend
specials because they were falling math or science and they needed to be tutored. When third
graders took a TAKS release in November 2010, there were only 39% of students who passed the
exam. FIfth graders have to take a Science T AKS release test and the students who were tutored
during specials were tutored by me only and they were tutored during specials because they had not
passed a Science bl-weekly assessment. Specials teachers create their own schedules and there are
many times during the week they do not have classes, so they were pulled to either enter classrooms
to assist with small groups or pull students out to assist with reading or math. I never asked the
specials teachers about grades for those students who were tutored during their specials time.
After the 3n! grade students scored a 39% pass rate on the November 201 0 TAKS release test, the
third grade teachers and I created a TEKS calendar (4
th
grade example attached) so that stUdents
could have the math TEKS covered twice per day. Mr. Mitchell, who was the science teacher of
record, was instructed by me to count the science-related TEKS as B grade for Science. For Social
.' Studies, the reading teacher, Ms. Bustamante, was instructed by me to give students Soc\al Studies
grades using the non·fiction stories. At the beginning of the year, the 3rt! grade Reading teacher
stated as one of her Social Studies goals that she would integrate Reading and Social Studies. The
Reading teacher was also instructed to teach fiction stories one week and non-fiction stories the other
week so that Sociar Studies and Reading could be integrated.
the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year, third grade had four sections. The Reading/Social
Studies teachers were Ms. Bustamante and Ms. Aguilera. The Math/Science teachers were Mr.
lv;ttGheH and Mr. Elder. At leveling Ms. Aguilera was removed from 3rt! grade and Mr. Elder became
the math teacher, Ms. Bustamante the reading teacher, and Mr. Mitchell the Math/Science teacher. In
November 2010, I had a teacher, Ms. Archbold, retum from leave. In November, third grade returned
to the same format as the beginning of the school year with 2 ReadingfSocial Studies teachers and 2
Math/Science teachers. At that time, gradespeed was not changed to reflect the new split and Mr.
Mitchell was still assigned Social Studies. When I was told by Mr. Mitchell that he was giving Social
Studies grades, I informed him that since he does not teach Social Studies that those grades were
fe.be and trlat he needed to delete the grades. I then informed Ms. Archbold and Ms. Bustamante that
they were responsible for entering the Social Studies grades by using the nan-fiction stories that had

gave her a directive and told her that she will teach Social studies because Mr. Mitchell was not
going to teach Math/Science and Social Studies. The science and social studies curriculum planning
guides (CPGs) were not used because students in 3"' grade are taking TAKS for the first time. Many
of the students are not used to the T AKS formatted questions and skills and so they have many
concepts and strategies to learn within a short amount of time. Since teachers and I are responsible
for ensuring that students are sucoessful on the TAKS test, the CPGs are not utilized for science and
sooial studies. Also, the CPGs are Just a guide for teachers. They are not a mandatory tool that
teachers must utllize each day to teach their subject areas.
In reference to grades, I had Informed the teacher who pull students out to give those students
grades in that subject area. I have informed the teachers to give the grades to the teacher of record
so that the students will have grades to be entered into gradespeed. When I moved Ms. Ferrell to 4th
grade, it was the end of the six-weeks period and grades were due. I did tell Ms. Ferrell to either get
Ms. Aguilera (who was in 4th grade) to enter the students' grades, get her to give her the password to
enter the grades, or to talk to Ms. Roberson. When I was called by my Executive Director about this
Issue, I immediately went back to the campus and had Ms. FerreH assigned to the class so that she
would be the teacher of record and have access to Inputting grades. In third grade, Ms. Bustamante
had to give Mr. Mitchell social studies grades since he was the teacher of record for social studies.
Ms. Bustamante shared the grades that she received from the stUdents in social studIes with Mr.
Mitchell so students could have grades because he was not teaching social stUdies.
I n reference to grades, I was not aware that H was not proper or a possible violation of policy for
teachers to grade students in a particular subject and share those grades with other teachers. I was
also not aware that It was not proper for teachers to be listed as the teacher of record and enter
grades for a particular subject that they did not teach.
In reference to students being kept from field trips, they were kept from field trips due to behavior
problems never due to grades. I am aware that students cannot be kept from field trips due to their
grades.
Due to the lack of parent involvement and due to the fact that students were performing poony in
class, not doing homework, and/or misbehaving, I kept 3"' or 4th graders at school and did not allow
them to ride the bus home so that parents could come up to the school to address their academic and
behavioral concems.
Two fifth graders had gotten into a fist fight after school while getting on the bus and one of the
students had to be taken home because I could not reach her family. I was going to, ..... ...
..... for .. ue to the fight. When I took one student @ that the student did
no Ive in our araa so she was withdrawn the next day and was When the other
student's mother came up to the school she did not want her daughter and asked me if I
would not her. I informed the parent that since she went to school at Field she would have to
bt? : I V unless she went to a n o ~ r school. The parent informed me that her friend was going
to allow her to use his address for her 5 grader and she would enroll her into another campus. I told
the parent that she could do what she needed to do. The parent withdrew her daughter from Field.
l have never used inappropriate language to a parent. In speaking with teachers who I have a close
relationship with, I have stated inappropriate things but that was in a joking way and never within
earshot of parents, ottler teachers, etc.

Students are referred to the Student Support Team (SST) based on academics, behavior, counseling
referrals. For the 2010-2011 school-year, there has been a total of approximately 20 students who
were referred to the SST committee for academics, behavior in grades 3-5, Of the 20 students,
approximately 10-12 students qualified to receive Special Education services. Other students have
been referred to Kiosco or a medical doctor for follow-up,
In fourth grade, there were about 10 students (one or two of the students were general education
students with needs) who were in Special Education or referred to Special Education who were pulled
out to receive extra TAKS tutoring. This year Special Education stUdents must pass the TAKS test.
These students were pulled out because they were in 4A which had 29 students in the class. These
students could not receive the help they needed in such a large class, so they were pulled out and
provided interventions that more closely met their needs,
In reference to the allegation of a high retention rate, 3-5th students are retained if they fall TAKS, fall
on their report card, or if they "pass" TAKS with a 63 or 67 but fail on their report card, Lower grades
(k-2) are retained if they are not reading on grade level according to the Development Reading
Assessment (DRA2) and/or fall or their report carel. I have compiled a report that shows 3-5 grade
students who were retained since I have been at Field and the reason why they were retained. I will
forward this r e ~ o r t to Mr. Stewart.
Beginning last year, I heard an Idea from the principal at Foster about having a girls group and a boys
group of students because the girls will open up more and will not be shy in front of the boys. Also,
the boys are very competitive with one another and it boosts their confidence and increases their
achievement I started same gender classrooms in fifth grade last year and the teachers enjoyed the
grouping. This year 4th grade teachers wanted to do the same and when I mentioned it to 3fd grade
teachers, they wanted it as well, This type of grouping has been very beneficial to student
achievement
In reference to gradespeed, the teachers wanted the weights set up differently because homework
was getting more weight than It should. Teacl=lers wanted homework to count on 10% of the grade
instead of being averaged in with classwork, Teachers wanted gradespeed set up last year with
homework being only 1 0% of the grade and we continued the practice this year.
Students were sent back to 2"" grade after their first report card, which was 6 weeks into the school
year, not twelve weeks. ,
During the 2010-2011 school year, the 5
th
grade students were pulled by me during specials each day
and tutored by the principal in the areas they were weak in on the biweekly science assessments,
Tutoring was being done that was content specific based on data from classroom assessments. I was
not teaching Science or giving grades, I was only revisiting the bi-weekly assessments they had
already taken and reviewing the content they did not understand. Groups changed based on
assessment results,
In May of 201 0, it was alleged that I separated students who passed the writing test from stUdents
who did not pass the writing test. This incident never occurred.
I am not aware of any teacher sending home science benchmarks tests and bringing them back to be
turned in. Benchmark tests are given out to teachers the day of the test and tests are turned back in
to the counselor at the end of the day. There is a testing schedule that teachers must follow, I have
never given permission for benchmark test to be taken at home and turned in the next day.

On May 3, 2011, at approximately 1:45 p.m., I received a phone call from Laura Valdez: in the
Northwest Learning Community office stating that I am still telling teachers to give grades to students
they do not teach. About 5 minutes later my Elementary Data Controller (EDC) came to my office and
told me that Ms. Archbold went to her and told her that she is not going to give grades to students
that she does not teach. I immediately went to get Ms. Archbold to talk to her about her statement to
the EDC. When Ms. Archbold cam'e into my office, I asked her if I had ever told her to give grades to
students that she does not teach and she said "No" in front of the EDC. I then told her that I just
received a call from the Northwest office stating that Mr. Stewert told my supervisor that "it was still
happening.· Ms. Archbold told me that she could not talk about that and I told her that I am not asking
her about that. What I am asking is why didn't she come to me and ask about giving grades to
students that she does not teach. I did not ask her about the investigation nor have I retaliated
against any teachers for participating in the a/legation.
I have attached to this affidavit documents ardlng the allegations that were presented to me today.
Signature of Affiant
Before me a notary public, on this 10th day of May, 2011, personaHy appeared, Roslyn Carter, known
to me to be the person whose name is subscribed to the foregoing affidavit and by me first duly

CTO-CSOCONCERNS
1. Issue: 3D hours ofreqaired TAG Training attheeiementary
campuses District-Is Response: 2/16/11- It has b.een decided by the
Elementary Senior Executive Directors that the 30 hour GT training has been
extended through the 2011-12 school year. All Phase III campus implementation
02c:sicms are to be decided by campus administrators, Cecilia Anzaldua,
Directo0 Gifted & Talented
2. ,Issue: Whatis,the appropriate ./en:gth of time to keep teachers
beyond the 7 hour end 45 minute work day,for mee§ngs? Districfs
Response: There is not a maximum time in the law, as long as talking
only about exempt employees. (Non-exempt employees would need to be paid
r-v::rCim·2 br any hours over 40 tn a weel-:.) Principats can require and expect
:he:s to remain longer than the norm on a given day in order to finish up
cel-'cain tasks, participate in faculty meetings, etc. Obviously, there is a need to
be reasonable and to have a legitimate function, such as faculty meetings, etc.
The concerns that teachers often have when after-school functions are required
are not based In law. However, teachers often have to make alternate plans for
jealing vvith their own personal Issues, such as picking up their own
children ,etc., so it is reasonable to expect the princ1pal to give the teachers prior
notice of the dates when the expected schedule change will take place. Jack
DISD Legal Dept.
* CTO-eSO Chair requested that all elementary Senior EDs agree on a
recommended appropriate and reasonable time for campus
administrators to keep teachers and staff after the work day.
3. How will the disrr.ct determine 'who will be released?
District's Response: Inside Track: With regard to how layoffs would be
decided, we have specific criteria and poHcles In place to govern layoffs of
contracted employees, such as teachers and counselors. These guideilnes
Include eertirrcation.
J
performance, seniority and other qualifications. We'll "have
to follow our poUcy very .closely fur contracted employees. We have more
flexibility with noo-contract staff, At Centra!, the need for services wW be a
major factor in determining staff layoffs. Right now, everything 15 on the table.
At this time, we're not counting fine arts. We"ve accessed external national
funding for flne arts and we want to retain that. And we can't close schools right
now; it takes too much planning to ,make sure y.ou get that right. Closings wIll be
considered for next year, perhaps for some of our smaller schools. There's a
strong possibility we well scale back stipends! primarily those for employees in
the hard-to-staffareas-btlingual
r
math, SCience, and special education, Our
recommendation is to sea Ie those stipends back by 80%. That would free us up
to keep some other employees.
4. 5 .Inclement Weather Make-.up Days :Respollse: The
state wIll make us make up two of those days; a waiv.er has been requested for
tr-Ie other three; 5""Late will determine whether to approve our waiver. No decision
b'/ the state has been received at this time.
S. Issue: Special Education Teachers-360 Review Program Districtts
Response: Federal and state guidelines require progress monitoring and
reporting to parents as key components to improving student outcomes through
feedback and data-based deciSion-making. Review 360 replaces the previous
[j3per-tJased, manual methods of progress monitoring and reporting, This
system was adoptee to er!5Ure :on-slstency in communication related to
:":uJ::::nt pmgl-ess in the gener-ai edu:ation curriculum and improved processes for
r::porting progress to parents, Review 360 does interface with the current special
education student Gata management system ( =ncore) and populates student
demographic information automaticall y. However, because rEPs are typicali y
written in a text format (no specifIc fields identified), this level of student
information could not be interfaced. There were instances where some teachers
did not receive passwords directly from the vendor. To ensure teachers gained
immediate access to the system, users were encouraged to 1) contact the vendor
directly to set/reset passwords 2) contact the district learning community special
education compliance specialist to set/reset passwords or 3) contact the district
special education program supervIsor to set/reset passwords. Certainly, this
process ·is not perfect and all teacher workloads require a great deal of
commitment. OUT goal, however,is ongoing improvement of both practice and
processes as we work to lncrease student involvement and success in the general
education curriculum whIle preparing them for .college and the workforce.

Subject: Sodal Studies directive farlow-up
To follow up on our conversation from yesterday, I just want to clarify that I do expect students to continue
working on non-fiction texts to cQuntas social studies grades for the 3rd six weeks report cards. Ms.
Bustamante can provide grades for the non-fiction stories that she has done thus far so that Ms. Archbald can
enter grades into gradespeed for the 3rd six-weeks. (It is very hard for me to beneve that Ms. Archbold has not
done any non-fiction stories since teaching the students). Each of you will collaborate to give soCial studies
grades on the upcoming report card. I will check to make sure grades are entered on gradespeed fmm each of
you in the area of social studies.
Thank you.

We have not really had a regular schedale since I started -due to benchmarks and this short week.
When I asked Ms. Archb[!)ld & Ms. Bustamante about grades, they said they give one test, one daS5WO'l"k, and
one homework grade per week.
r will give the same test that they give - we have only given one so far. They have still been giving the students
the same homework. I have been try.ing to have the stUdents work on the same elasswork activities either Ms.
Archbold or Ms. Bustamante gives. I had so many absences -last week that If the students w0rked on the
activity, I had no one to work with. While we did some of the activities, we djd not spend enough time on them
for the qua\ttyto be as high as Ms. Archbold's. I need to talk to them about my papers.
The schedule is supposed to be Monday - read story.
Tuesday & Wednesday - let students create G,O. of story elements while teacher works small groups
Thursday - Test
Friday - Review test
Did you want me to keep this schedule or focus more on Test strategies? 1 have been doing more guided work
wit h these students which does make grading more difficult. We work together until it is correct,

Rex Stewart - Test prep
From: Roslyn Carter
To: stewart, Rex
Date: 5/10/2011 2:33 PM
Subject: Test prep
Here is the information regarding test prep. It is under EIA regulation. I do not have an electronic copy of
it so I had to find it under bDard policy:
Test genre practice for standardized state assessments may be a
part of the preparation process for students, but should not take the
place of rigorous instruction or more open-ended performancebased
assessments. Therefore, the following must be followed
regarding the use of test-prep materials:
1. Test-prep fonnatted questions can be used as test format
models after more rigorous assessments, which should reflect
higher-level thinking.
2. Supplemental test-prep materials can be used, but should be
limited to students who are In need of Intervention in a particular
subject area rather than as a general practice for all students.
3. Students should be placed in tiered intervention programs
based upon their learning needs, which requires scheduling of
interventions during the school day.
4. Students should not be removed from any required core or
enrichment TEKS-based Instruction for the purpose of test
preparation/remediation. focused intervention tutorials
may be scheduled in the three weeks prior to the TAKS
test, but should not remove students from other required instruction
without the approval of the campus principal.
5. Parents must be notified If students are removed from any
core or enrichment TEKS-based course or dassroom for test
preparation, and grades for the missed course/class must reflect
student absence from Instruction.
Report cards are Issued every six-week grading

I really need each of you to be visable during benchmarks. Meaning I want each of you to walk around as
If this were TAKS testing and walk in classrooms while students are testing, You may say that it is ONLY a
benchmark, but the data from the test is important and I want to make sure the results are accurate and
reliable. Teachers need their doors open, folders need to be up, and teachers need to be up monitoring
not sitting at their computers, Laura, please send an email on Monday reminding teachers of this, Thank
you.
