	Corpus Christi Caller Times Editorials - The court of inquiry
		Today the district leadership faces a new level of trouble: a special court of inquiry begins its proceedings with District Attorney Carlos Valdez investigating a raft of allegations of abuse of power, Open Meetings Act violations, and theft.
		Yet despite the ignominy of having the district leadership take the stand in a criminal proceeding and the bitterness of the board's division, the point should not be forgotten: The level of performance in the district's classrooms is now at a high point.
		The court of inquiry is not a prosecutorial tool; still, the image of a superintendent and elected school leaders facing questions under oath will be difficult to dismiss.
