The Kimball basketball team’s Athletic Director and head coach had prior knowledge of previous issues with the player who brought a firearm on the school trip to San Antonio last week.
Two sources on school staff and two unrelated parents told Other Side Dallas that the school and staff were aware of the issues and that weapons on campus are a regular occurrence that gets ignored by senior administration and Dallas ISD Police.
Despite multiple issues with academics and attitude, the team kept the player on the team due to athletic ability and kept issues quiet in pursuit of state accolades.
Dallas Schools have had multiple incidents and violations of Code of Conduct where the Dallas ISD did not follow their own policy on discipline. Recently an assault victim was made to stay in the same class as her assaulter who served no penalty at WT White.
One parent blames Trustee Maxie Johnson who has led efforts to eliminate discipline from the school system at large.
“They talk about a prison pipeline, but what about the pipeline to the hospital of assaults that don’t get attention,” one parent said.
