Celina ISD released a redacted report of a third-party investigation it commissioned into former Moore Middle School football coach Caleb Elliott on Friday night.<\/p>\n

In a letter to the community, the Celina ISD Board of Trustees released an 85-page redacted report detailing Elliot’s tenure at Celina ISD. <\/p>\n

The report details Elliot’s hiring, his interactions with students, Moore Middle School’s principal and his father — the head football coach at Celina High School.<\/p>\n

The report finds Bill Elliot exerted his influence during his son’s hiring process in 2023. <\/p>\n

The release of the report comes after Monday’s meeting, where parents pressed the district for answers<\/a> about the employment of his father, head football coach and athletic director Bill Elliott.<\/p>\n

Elliott was previously arrested and charged with secretly recording boys in the locker room.<\/p>\n

Back in November, Celina Police concluded a criminal investigation<\/a> of state and federal charges against Elliot for invasive visual recording, possession and promotion of child pornography, and sexual performance of a child.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Celina ISD released a redacted report of a third-party investigation it commissioned into former Moore Middle School football…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127900,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[430,27,29,28],"class_list":["post-127899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-north-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
