Celina ISD Releases Redacted Third-Party Report on Ex-Coach Caleb Elliott

The review says district employees had no prior knowledge of his alleged misconduct.

Overview

  • Investigators interviewed 39 witnesses and reported that some feared retaliation for speaking.
  • The report details hiring concerns, saying Athletic Director Bill Elliott influenced his son's selection and citing systemic failures in the athletic program.
  • District leaders were found to have had no evidence to suspect Elliott at the time of hiring, and the probe found no support for rumors such as locker-room cameras or other alleged incidents.
  • Bill Elliott retired and Moore Middle School Principal Allison Ginn resigned this week after trustees received the investigation findings.
  • Victims’ attorneys and state lawmakers question the review’s completeness and seek an unredacted release, while state and federal cases against Elliott continue.
