Celina ISD Reviews Third-Party Report in Locker-Room Case, Announces No Action

Parents pressed for transparency after trustees met in closed session on allegations against former coach Caleb Elliott.

Overview

  • District leaders confirmed they received an independent investigation and the board spent Monday night in executive session, then adjourned without releasing findings.
  • Head football coach and athletic director Bill Elliott and Moore Middle School Principal Amber Ginn remain on non‑disciplinary paid leave pending the district’s process.
  • Several speakers urged reinstating the principal while many parents demanded accountability and clearer communication from the board.
  • Caleb Elliott was arrested in October on local and federal charges accusing him of coercing boys to perform nude exercises and secretly photographing them, with police citing at least 38 victims.
  • Multiple civil lawsuits from families continue, alleging the district showed conscious indifference, as parents call for a review of hiring and oversight practices and a timeline for public disclosure of the report.
