As we discussed, my complaint was filed against Coach Campbell regarding the incident our son witnessed, Due to their race, Coach Campbell brought a few African American students fo the front of the room during study hall and compared them to an African ‘American signing group. My child is currently in a hostile environment on the football field at Centennial High School. This environment is hostile because: 4. Coach Campbell continues to make racially charged comments. 2. Principal Spain and Coach Mullins have not reassigned Coach Campbell until a thorough investigation into tha incidents reported has been completed. 3. The lack of action by Principal Spain or Coach Mullins seems to indicate that they are willing to tolerate a racist climate on the football field. 4, My child feels threatened and the target of retaliation because Coach Campbell Is still over my ‘son on the football field. Our request is simple. We request Coach Campbell be reassigned immediately. We request that the entire program be revamped to foster inclusion of all races, We await your response as enough time as passed with our child being intimidated and marginalized.

I told them both, | have witnesses - neither coach inquired or tried to validate my story = Coach Mullins knew all along that | had witnesses because I told him in a separate meeting.

To give you an idea on my perspective on the Titan program, am very active when it comes to my experience with the program, So, | am-someone who has become a familiar face to a Jot of the players, ‘The reason that | am writing this letter is that over the course of the last two years here, | have been informed by several players that see me around that there have been some comments by Coach Campbell that they felt wére racially insensitive and demeaning to them, Examples of these comments include: 1. Coach Campbell(CC) told a kid that he is getting big, he must be eating fried chicken 2. CCasked a couple of football players to come to the front of the class during study hall; had ‘them stand in front of a projector; turned on a slide of New Edition and compared these kids to the rap group 3. CCtold akid that he would string him up on a tree upside down 4 CC has reminded kids that he has'a glock on his shelf at home 5. CC eontinually referred.to.a black kid as’Malcolm X 6, CC called-a white kid cracker 7. Called who he thought was a Hispanic kid ‘Essay’ 8. He continuously puts these kids that he picks on down during practice while awarding ‘unequitable praise to the ‘chosen’ kids when they do the bare minimum, This Is obviously @ systematic form of discrimination that he is consciously choosing to practice.Whein Coach Mullins came on board as the Head Footbell Cozch In April, I saw this as an ‘opportunity ta deal with this issue. So, | set up a meeting with myself, and Coach Mullins. At that time, | brought to Coach Mullins’ attention that Coach Campbell had made the statements about an athlete getting bigger because he was eating fried chicken; and about him putting my and another athlete in front of his study hall class and comparing them to a black rap group. | explained to Coach Mullins that this was offensive to African Americans for several reasons and that this behavior should not be tolerated by any adult, let alone a teacher who is getting paid by public tax dollars. Coach Mullins assured me that he would investigate the situation and correct the problem. 1 later heard that Coach Mullins did atidress the team and coaching staff in regards to making negative statements towards each other and the kids: | assumed that he addressed Coach Campbell personally. But, | must admit, | made the assumption that this was'the case, | found out almibst a week later that Coach Campbells position had been changed to RB Coach ‘and that he would be directly over ithe Kid that came forth with the accusation, When | heard this, | immediately reached out to Coach Mullins to let him know that | diel not tike this decision and that it made and myself uncomfortable as we were afraid CC would retaliate against « Coach Mullins told me that he didn’t feel that he had to justify his decisions on who he has coaching where with me or anybody else. After a bt of arguing, | decided to get off the phone and deal with it later, Coach Mullins saw me at the 7-on-7 the next day and apologized for his response. But, he kept CC as, 5 RB coach. Fast Forward to October 13%, | received a call from withe ANONYMOUS MINOR> on the phone. was really upset because Coach Campbell had been harassing him over the past couple of weeks: He had been on for what considered to be no real reason, and he had been calling him ‘malcolm X' as 2 way of insulting him. was fed up with the harassment, and was ready to quit Titan football altogether. and! discussed with him that we could go to Coach Mullins on his behalf to try to get some resolution on why CC had been making these statements, | verified through my that this was something that several players heard Coach Campbell say so I called Coach Mullins. Coach Mullins wanted to setup a ‘time with the kids to hear their statements. When | asked could | and | be present, he stated that he only wanted the kids involved in the room. | expressed my disagreement with this decision, | felt that It was unfair to question the kids without an advocate. Iwas reminded ‘that was not my kid, | vas askéd to give Coach Mullins an opportunity to resolve the situation and that he would get back to me to let mé know that it was resolved. Over the course of the next morning, Coach Mullins questioned and regarding the issue. | was in communication with suring this period via ‘xt, At about noon, | stil had not heard from Coach Mullins, so, called and left @ message asking for a status on the situation. After almost an hour, | decided to head up to the school to escalate to Mr, Spain as I felt that the issue was not being taken seriously and that no real action had occurred all day, Mr. Spain assured me that he would look into the situation and get back to me and/or have Coach Mullins get back to me, Mr.Spaln told me that if Coach Campbell did make these statemetits that he would deal with him. He told me that if that behavior continues, that he wouldn't be in this profession any longer. He made the statement ‘that Coach Campbell would be given three chances and that he.was gone after that, | thought ‘to myself, that s crazy. IF were to make this kind of statement once at my place of, employment, | would be fired immediately. 1 was once again assured that they would get back ‘tome, So, I went back to work, ‘The rest of the afternoon went by and no one reached out to me with an explanation of how ‘they were going to handle the situation, So, ! came back up to the school during football Practice. Sure enough, that was when Coach Mullins came off the field with an explanation of how he handled things. After a brief explanation of how he felt he.resolved the situation, ! was told that He'didn’t appreciate me going to his boss about this. { told him that | didn’t appreciate the fact that he didn’t get beck tame, And felt that he didn’t take this issue seriously, We agreed to disagree and essentially went our ways, After practice was over, | waited for 35 usually do, and approached me and stated that they were not allowed to give their true statement and that they were ‘talked’ over by Coach Mullins. Coach Mullins had framed the situation into a single occurrence and NOT something that been occurring over the course of a couple of weeks as reported to myself and by. | questioned ANONYMOUS MINOR> several times about how often this happened and he assured me that it happened over the course of several weeks, ‘As @ result of the conversation with / decided to reach back out to Coach Mullins and request another meeting to talk about how this was handled. After discussing this wit! we decided to request an additional meeting with Coach Mullins to attempt to resolve this. Coach Mullins’ response was that the problem was appropriately handled and resolved and that there would be no further meetings on this Issue. | replied that | did not think that it was fairly resolved since the kids said they were not allowed to speak and that it couldn't be resolved without consensus from all parties. At this polnt, I was urisatisfied with the response, and I decided that we would escalate back to Mr, Spain, Now, | am also disappointed with Mr. Spain because, to this day, he has never gotten back to meto see if this Issue was resolved. | escalated to him because I felt that things were not getting handled properly. | feel thathe should fave stayed with the issue and communicated with me until we agreed that it wasresolved, To me, this communicates that the staff at Centennial High School believes there Is no real problem with a Coach making racially charged statements to a kid, And that all this school cares about is protecting the coach's job. Not only did Coach Campbell make racist statements, ‘when he told another ANONYMOUS kid he would ‘Hang him froma tree’, he made a threat of violence against that child. As of today, 11/3/2015, almost three weeks has gone by without any attempt to ensure that that child's safety is of any importance. This is absolutely not right, Ihave to wonder if a non-black kid would be treated in this same manner??? In the opinion of the over 50 people that attended the meeting with Mr. Spain and Coach ‘Mullins on 10/27/2025, Coach Campbell should be fired from his position and @ Coach and Teacher in the Frisco ISD. Furthermore, Mr.Spain and Coach Mullins need to be held accountable for their lack-of action in regards to this matter. When you hire administrators, ‘they should be there number one goal should be to ensure the safety and well-belng of ALL childen, not just the ones they are most familiar with. Their Inaction shows their lack of Fespect for African American children and their parents and it should NOT be tolerated. 7Emails to resolve issues ‘On Tuesday, April 28, 2016 6108 PM, Hello Coach, Hope your day is going well. | have spoken to We are going to hold off a couple of weeks on our intent to get a couple of workouts in during the week.

As | exptessed at the Outset of us coming forward to you with this issue, Its inappropriate for the kids involvad in this process to be interviewed without an advocate for them present, Whether that be myself andlor their parent(s), questioning them on such a sensitive matter shouldn't have happened without an advocate present, As a matter of fact, after you and f last spoke regarding this issue, approached me and stated that he felt that he was not allowed to tell his side of the story and that you- "talked over" him as he was trying to explain what happened.

As a result of Mr. Spain not following up on the Issue, the issue was escalated to a public ‘meeting On 10/27/2015 where Mr. Spain stated that he was NOT going to take any action against Coach Campbell and that all parents with concerns needed to file this formal complaint: 9. Please describe the outcome or remedy that you seek for this complaint. | am requesting the following outcomes: * Coach Campbell be terminated for his racist comments and behavior ‘= Coach Mullins and Mr, Spain be held accountable for not dealing with the issue appropriately ‘© Formalized training for the district in racial sensitivity and handling issues, ‘= Amore expedient program that increases diversity within the FISD in regards to positions of leadership.

My plays football for the Titans and Is in To give you an idea on my perspective on the Titan program. | am very active when it comes to my ‘experience with the program. So, | am someone who has become a familiar face to a lot of the players. The reason that | am writing this letter is that over the course of the last two years here, 1 have been informed by several players that see me around that there have been some comments by Coach Campbell that they felt were racially insensitive and demeaning to ‘them. Examples of these comments include: 1. Coach Campbell[CC) told a kid that he is getting big, he must be eating fried chicken 2, CC asked a couple of football players to come to the front of the class during study hall; hhad them stand In front of a projector; tured on a slide of New Edition and compared these kids to the rap group CC told a kid that he would string him up on a tree upside down CC has reminded kids that he has a glock on his shelf at home CC continuelly referred to a black kid as Malcolm x CC called a white kid cracker CC called who he thought was a Hispanic kid ‘Essay’ He continuously puts these kids that he picks on down during practice while awarding lunequitable praise to the ‘chosen’ kids when they do the bare minimum. This is obviously a systematic form of discrimination that he is consciously choosing to practice. PxXanaw When Coach Mullins came on board as the Head Football Coach in April, | saw this as an opportunity to deal with this issue. So, | set up a meeting with myself, yand Coach Mullins. At that time, | brought to Coach Mullins’ attention that Coach Campbell had made the statements about an athlete getting bigger because he was eating fried chicken; and about him putting my nephew and another athlete in front of his study hall class and comparing them to a black rap group. | explained to Coach Mullins that this was offensive to African Americans for several reasons and that this behavior should not be tolerated by any adult, et alone a teacher who is getting paid by public tax dollars. Coach Mullins assured me that he would investigate the situation and correct the problem. | later heard that Coach Mullins did address the team and coaching staff in regards to making negative statements towards each other and the kids. | assumed that he addressed Coach Campbell personally. But, | must admit, | made the assumption that this was the case. | found out almost a week later that Coach Campbell's position had been changed to RB Coach and that he would be directly over the kid that came forth with theaccusation, When | heard this, | immediately reached out to Coach Mullins to let him know that | did not Iike this decision and that it made and myself uncomfortable as we were afraid CC would retaliate against Coach Mullins told me that he didn’t feel that he had to Justify his decisions on who he has coaching where with me or anybody else. After a bit of arguing, | decided to get off the phone and deal with it later. Coach Mullins saw me at the 7-on-7 the next day and apologized for his response, But, he kept CC as RB coach. Fast Forward to October 13°, | received a call from withe ANONYMOUS MINOR> on the phone. was really upset because Coach Campbell had been harassing him over the past couple of weeks. He had been on for what considered to be no real reason, and he had been calling him ‘Malcolm X’ as a way of insulting him. was fed up with the harassment and was ready to quit Titan football altogether. and | discussed with him that we could go to Coach Mullins on his behalf to try to get some resolution on why CC had been making these statements. | verified through my that this was something that several players heard Coach Campbell say so | called Coach Mullins. Coach Mullins wanted to setup a time with the kids to hear their statements, When I asked could and | be present, he stated that he only wanted the kids involved in the room. 1 expressed my disagreement with this decision. | felt that It was unfair to question the kids without an advocate, | was reminded that was not my kid. | was asked to give Coach Mullins an opportunity to resolve the situation and that he would get bback to me to let me know that it was resolved. Over the course of the next morning, Coach Mullins questioned and regarding the issue. | was in communication with during this period via txt. At about noon, | stil had not heard from Coach Mullins, so, | called and left a message asking for a status on the situation. After almost an hour, | decided to head up to the school to escalate to Mr. Spain as | felt that the Issue was not being taken seriously and that no real action had occurred all day. Mr. Spain assured me that he would look into the situation and get back to me and/or have Coach Mullins get back to me, Mr. Spain told me that if Coach Campbell did make these statements that he would deal with him. He told me that if that behavior continues, that he wouldn't be in this profession any longer. He made ‘the statement that Coach Campbell would be glven three chances and that he was gone after that, | thought to myself, that is crazy. If | were to make this kind of statement once at my place of employment, | would be fired Immediately. | was once again assured that they would get back to me. So, | went back to work. The rest of the afternoon went by and no one reached out to me with an explanation of how they were going to handle the situation. So, | came back up to the school during football practice. Sure enough, that was when Coach Mullins came off the field with anexplanation of how he handled things. After a brief explanation of how he felt he resolved the sttuation, | was told that he didn’t appreciate me going to his boss about this. | told him that | didn’t appreciate the fact that he didn't get back to me. And | felt that he didn’t take this issue seriously. We agreed to disagree and essentially went our ways. After practice was over, | waited for as | usually do. and pproached me and stated that they were not allowed to give their true statement and that they were ‘talked’ over by Coach Mullins, Coach Mullins had framed the situation Into a single occurrence and NOT something that been occurring over the course of a couple of weeks as reported to myself and «ANONYMOUS MINOR>. | ‘questioned several times about how often this happened and he assured me that it happened over the course of several weeks. As a result of the conversation with ? I decided to reach back out to Coach Mullins and request enother meeting to talk bout how this was handled. After discussing this with 1 we decided to request an additional meeting with Coach Mullins to attempt to resolve this. Coach Mullins’ response was that the problem was appropriately handled and resolved and that there would be no further meetings on this issue. | replied that I did not think that it was fairly resolved since the kids said they were not allowed to speak and that it couldn’t be resolved without consensus from all parties At this point, | was unsatisfled with the response, and I decided that we would escalate back to Mr. Spain, Now, | am also disappointed with Mr, Spain because, to this day, he has never gotten back to me to see if this issue was resolved, | escalated to him because [elt that things were not getting handled properly. | feel that he should have stayed with the issue and communicated with me until we agreed that it was resolved. To me, this communicates that the staff at Centennial High School believes there Is no real problem with a Coach making racially charged statements to a kid. And that all this school cares about is protecting the coach's job. Not only did Coach Campbell make racist statements, when he told another ANONYMOUS kid he would ‘Hang him from a tree’, he made a threat of violence against that child, As of today, 11/3/2015, almost three weeks has gone by without any attempt to ensure that that child's safety is of any importance. This is absolutely not right. I have to wonder If a non-black kid would be treated in this same manner??? In the opinion of the over $0 people that attended the meeting with Mr. Spain and Coach Mullins on 10/27/2015, Coach Campbell should be fired from his position and a Coach and Teacher in the Frisco ISD. Furthermore, Mr. Spain and Coach Mullins need to be held accountable for their lack of action in regards to this matter. When you hire administrators, they should be there number one goal should be to ensure the safety and well-being of ALLchildren, not just the ones they are most familiar with. Their inaction shows their lack of respect for African American children and thelr parents and it should NOT be tolerated, Emails to resolve issues On Tuesday, Apri 28, 2015 6:08 PM, wrote: Hello Coach, Hope your day is going well. | have spoken to We are going to hold offa couple of weeks on our intent to get a couple of workouts in during the week.

When | asked could and | be present, he stated that he only wanted the kids involved in the room. | ‘expressed my disagreement with this decision. | felt that it was unfair to question the kids without an advocate. | was reminded that was not my kid. I was asked to give Coach Mullins an opportunity to resolve the situation and that he would get back to me to let me know that it was resolved. Over the course of the next morning, Coach Mullins questioned and regarding the Issue. | was in communication with during this petiod via txt. At about noon, | still had not heard from Coach Mullins, so, [called and left a message asking for a status on the situation, After almost an hour, | decided to head up to the school to escalate to Mr. Spain as | felt that the Issue was not being taken seriously and that 10 real action had occurred all day. Mr. Spain assured me that he would look into the situation and get back to me and/or have Coach Mullins get back to me, Mr. Spain told me ‘that if Coach Campbell did make these statements that he would deal with him. He told me that if that behavior continues, that he wouldn't be In this profession any longer. He made the statement that Coach Campbell would be given three chances and that he was gone after that. | thought to myself, that is crazy. If | were to make this kind of statement once at my place of employment, | would be fired immediately. | was once again assured that they would get back to me. So, | went back to work, ‘The rest of the afternoon went by and no one reached out to me with an explanation of how they were going to handle the situation, So, I came back up to the school during football practice. Sure enough, that was when Coach Mullins came off the field with an explanation of how he handled things. After a brief explanation of how he felt he resolved the situation, | was told that he didn’t appreciate me going to his boss about this. | told him that I didn’t appreciate the fact that he didn’t get back to me, And I felt that he didn’t take this issue seriously. We agreed to disagree and essentially went our ways. After practice was over, | waited for as | usually do, and approached me and stated that they were not allowed to give thelr true statement and that they were ‘talked’ over by Coach Mullins. Coach Mullins had framed the situation into a single occurrence and NOT something that been occurring over the course of @ couple of weeks as reported to myself and by , 1questioned several times about how often this happened and he assured me thet it happened over the course of several weeks. ‘As a result of the conversation with / , | decided to reach back out to Coach Mullins and request another meeting to talk about how this was handled. After discussing this with we decided to request an additional meeting with Coach Mullins to attempt to resolve this. Coach Mullins’ response was that the problem was appropriately handled and resolved and that there would be no further meetings on this issue. | replied that | did not think that it was fairly resolved since the kids said they were not allowed to speak and that it couldn't be resolved without consensus from all parties. At this point, | was unsatisfied with the response. and | decided that we would escalate back to Mr. Spain. Now, !am also disappointed with Mr. Spain because, to this day, he has never gotten back to me to see if this issue was resolved, | escalated to him because [elt that things were not getting handled properly. | feel that he should have stayed with the issue and communicated with me until we agreed that it was resolved. To me, this communicates that the staff at Centennial High School believes there is no real problem with a Coach making racially charged statements to a kid. And that all this school cares about is protecting the coach's job. Not only did Coach Campbell make racist statements, when he told another ANONYMOUS kid he would ‘Hang him from a tree’, he made a threat of violence against that child. As of today, 12/3/2015, almost three weeks has gone by without eny attempt to ensure that that child's safety is of any importance. This Is absolutely not right. | have to wonder if a non-black kid would be treated in this, same manner??? In the opinion of the over 50 people that attended the meeting with Mr. Spain and Coach Mullins on 10/27/2015, Coach Campbell should e fired from his position and a Coach and Teacher in the Frisco ISD. Furthermore, Mr. Spain and Coach Mullins need to be held accountable for thelr lack of action in regards to this matter. When you hire administrators, they should be there number one goal should be to ensure the safety and well-being of ALL children, not just the ones they are most familiar with. Their inaction shows their lack of respect for African American children and their parents and it should NOT be tolerated.

Full investigation of the coach Campbell. (2) The group would also like a full investigation of Ronny Mullins and Mr Spain, The general feeling is Ronny Mullins withheld information from his bosses and repeatedly put kids in hostile situations, Mr Spain also did not follow the issues or react in the best interest of our kids when he had info that could have helped all parties involved. Both have broken the trust of the kids and parents when dealing with the sensitive subject of race and hostile situations, Mr Spain showed litte interest to ensure an acceptable solution for all parties. 3) why can't the Coach be removed from the kids until the investigation is complete, ‘There was no movement or follow up from Randy Spain when this was a clear demand of the group. (4) A meeting with our group to talk openly about these issues when your investigation is complete, The community would like to hear ‘from you, J told the group you are an advocate for faimess.Thanks, Sent from my iPhone On Oct 29, 2015, at 7:57 AM, "Lyon, Jeremy" wrote: Good morning, ‘Thanks for these explanations.

I greatly value and appreciate our ably to talk about serious Issues affecting ‘our community. Before I move on, I want to re-emphasize some ‘very important points on your email that really needs to be driven ‘home justin case these Issues come up agai, \ have serious concems when | learned today that 50 people showed up for a meeting with him, without his prior knowledge of that many people planning to attend. I don't think that is fair. (When issues impact kids, and Mr. Spain was very much aware that we would be talking about the issues of racial insensitive comments around our kids, it does not matter if there were 20 or 50 people. I have a documented email where I told Mr. Spain a week ago what we would be talking about and why. He had plenty of tine to prepare. The very reason he held this meeting in a library was the anticipation of alarge audience.) ‘An additional concern is that I have learned that there are now grievances filed by parents over matters discussed at the meeting, (The grievance process was initiated by Randy Spain against the wil of the audience. Whereas the audience understood that the complaints needed to be documented, the request was to remove the coach immediately until a full and independent investigation could be done. Randy Spain was adamant about implementing a grievance process) So ifhe told you this, shame on him.You know our strategic plan is strong in this, regards and that our HR department is committed to fulfling the objectives of the plan ( The frustration with our community is the lack of diversity even in your hiring for the 2015-2016 school year. We are in 2015, As itrelates to Centennial, a school that Mr. Spain has lead for 13 years - fo date, we have a 9% black population with 1 black coach, 1 black AP and no black teachers. So naturally when the issue of race comes up, the entire school is under scrutiny. ‘Whereas the major issue at the meeting was the coach, community members began to ask, about other things where racial bias and coverup could impact our kids. That includes hiring practices, 1 coach in the entire athletic program, 2 black employees that may feel retribution for speaking up. The impact on our kids is tremendous. No one to balance the decisions, conversation and in a lot of cases to represent our issues. We absolutely believe you have a good plan, but strategic plans can take years to implement. Just this year, Centennial hired a new head coach who brought in 4-5 new coaches and not { was minority. Just this year, there were a large group of, promotions and administrators hired, | think | found ‘ black lady in your news letter. These are the things that have our community boiling. There is a new organization growing by the day and I would hate to see these issues bloody up our ‘community Centennial is a test case. This is like a leaking roof, you fix one leak and there are three more leaks, until the whole roof is repaired, there is going to be problems. Randy Spain has got to have a reason for not properly embracing and promoting diversity and he should be ready for large audiences from the ‘community who pay taxes for him to implement an environment that inspires, build trust and is fair to our kids. To this day and even last night, there was ot one apology from either AD, Principle or HeadCoach. Not one of them said in the meeting last night - | don’t condone rac in any shape and form and will not tolerate race on my watch. Not one. Finally, | would ask for you and your HR Director to meat with Citizens for Positive Change, these are ‘community tax paying people and show us how your strategy plan will increase minority hiring at all levels today and in the future. Action speaks louder than words. Just wanted to give you some facts and food for thought, I'm now about to send you names of the kids and parents.
