The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has confirmed to KRIS 6 News that it is investigating the Corpus Christi Independent School District’s (CCISD) method of awarding a construction contract in 2020.
The contract to build new classrooms at Ella Barnes Elementary School went to Fulton Construction on July 16.
