A coach employed by Round Rock Independent School District has been removed from duty following an arrest connected to an incident that reportedly occurred last year, district officials confirmed this week.
Round Rock ISD placed the staff member on administrative leave as authorities pursued charges stemming from the 2024 matter. The district has not publicly identified the individual by name, but confirmed the coach is no longer in an active role while the legal process unfolds.
Round Rock ISD, one of the largest school districts in the greater Austin metro area serving tens of thousands of students across its campuses, said it is cooperating fully with law enforcement. District leadership emphasized that student safety remains the top priority as the investigation continues.
Details surrounding the nature of the original 2024 incident and the specific charges filed have not been fully disclosed by authorities at this time. It remains unclear whether the coach was arrested by local Round Rock police, Williamson County Sheriff's Office, or another agency.
The situation adds to growing scrutiny of hiring and oversight practices within Central Texas school athletics programs. Parents and community members in the Round Rock area are pressing district officials for greater transparency about the timeline of events and when administrators first became aware of any alleged misconduct.
