Investigation into allegations of bribery and threats of violence in Kemp ISD stalled in court A temporary restraining order prevents the Texas Education Agency from completing investigation. A Texas Education Agency investigation into Kemp schools is stalled in court after a judge granted the school district a temporary restraining order.(Ben Torres / Special Contributor) 10:00 AM on May 10, 2021 CDT Judge Jan Soifer granted the school district a temporary restraining order in March that halted the Texas Education Agency’s investigation into the small 1,600-student school district located 45 miles southeast of Dallas. A hearing on the order is scheduled for Thursday. Late last year, TEA officials signed off on a preliminary report that described a toxic climate and dysfunctional board that “misused its position to assert control and power, creating chaos and conflict” that hindered Kemp.
