The Krum Independent School District and Board of Trustees have received inquiries into the status of the allegations made against district employees. KISD takes these accusations seriously, and to maintain transparency have asked the Region 11 Education Service Center to investigate the matter. KISD is cooperating, opening its records, and making its employees available to the Service Center so it may conduct an independent investigation. KISD believes the independent investigation will exonerate the district and its employees of what KISD is confident are false accusations. The independent investigation’s report will be received by the Board of Trustees and shared with the public to the greatest extent permitted by law. KISD takes its reputation for integrity and honesty seriously, and will take whatever steps are necessary to maintain and protect its reputation, including, but not limited to, actions against anyone who would dishonor our institution by violating our rules or policies. This Board of Trustees loves our community and school district, and genuinely strives to make decisions that are in the best interest of all students and the district as a whole. We are saddened by the uproar and the many inflammatory and unsubstantiated statements that are being disseminated via social media. We encourage everyone to be patient and wait for the facts, and not believe or spread uninformed speculation; the facts will come out. An unrelated personnel issue has been mischaracterized as being part of this investigation. KISD does not discuss personnel matters publicly, but you may be assured that any personnel decisions will be made independent of the investigation and in the best interest of KISD. We thank you for your concern and support for KISD, our faculty, and our children. Krum ISD Board of Trustees
