001by the board since the law makes no Provisions for formal cross-examination any questioning will be done in an informal and conversational manner at the conclusion of this presentation the attorneys or Representatives May make closing statements with a reply by the administration's attorney must emphasize once again that the purpose of this hearing is to bring before the school board the recommendation that the employment contract of Mr um Larry be turned minated and only matters relevant to the recommendation will be permitted all right so uh please begin the hearing by stating your recommendation Dr o I had I think everybody has the board's packet or the administration's packet of exhibits so we'll go ahead and proceed you tell the board how you came to be aware of the situation with Mr Larry yes sir um the evening
002or late afternoon early evening of Friday that's on the evening of uh Friday February 7th I received a notification that uh we had uh a scholar a high school scholar uh that was seen uh driving the bus and when I contined to ask uh how did that come about I was told that coach Larry gave uh The Scholar uh the keys to the bus and gave the permission to drive the bus uh and so in talking with principal bids uh we decided that um we needed to investigate this uh situation more and that um based on the fact that we the evidence or the uh report that we received that Friday night uh that we were going to meet with coach Larry on Monday morning the following Monday morning so she sent him the notification
003um we met with him on that Monday got a statement and then um Contin to investigate the Bus video as well as the video from um the building the actual auxiliary Jam building and after the investigation we found that he was in violation of board policy 3.27 for not supervising students at all times and putting the safety uh of students not only the students on the bus but the students who've been dismissed at that time their safety and Jeopardy and so therefore I recommended termination because of that all right did you collect statements from students involved in this incident the administration that the high school did yes sir and are those statements what we see from I guess up page four to page 12 of the administration that's correct and then at page 13 you
004mention get statement Larry is that what we see at page3 of the administra yes sir that's correct Mr Larry was um when you initially visited with Mr L was he placed on suspension with pay he was placed uh administrative Le with p and then was he given a directive about contact with staff or students he was he was uh told that he could not uh uh visit the school and that he should not be in contact with any student nor any staff members while he on administra did that directive continue after uh sending him as notice of recommendation termination it did so page 14 he uh this was a um a snapshot of a message that he sent uh to the individuals uh the players the uh Scholars uh who are on the Bas basketball
005team this was the message that he sent to them this from an app called group me group me yes sir and there's a group me chat among the basketballers coaches is that right that's correct and this is his message he sent to them after he was told he was not contact any students correct that's correct page 15 of the board packet you you watched the video so you're roughly familiar with the route that the students drove correct yes sir this is an aerial view of Jacksonville High School correct that's correct does that red line roughly trace the route that the students drove the bus it is yes sir from start to finish um from where left to right and and North sou south to North that rock yes sir all right and then I think
006we have to watch begins inside the gymnasium correct that's correct yes sir and I think to set the scene we're going to be looking at the students Gathering to get ready after school to go to their basketball game and coach Larry is there directly right that's uh you'll see uh the students have about five or six students standing around uh and coach Larry is uh standing there um talking with them by preparation and then eventually um one student asked if she could go ahead and can they go ahead and load the bus and he said yes gave her the key and asked if she was going to pull uh the bus around and she stated no okay and there's audio the bo can listen to and make your own conclusion by what said right yes
007sir we that you can see um to the right of the screen the students and then Coach Larry's here with the uh black jacket and the red shirt underneath and the student to the left with a white band across her head I think it's a head set is she the one that is given the keys yes yes sir [Music] care [Music] you w come to the [Music] bus okay so did you hear her ask if she can have the keys for the bus there that's correct yes sir and then he asked if she was going to drive it up did you hear that that's correct and she said no you're going to come in right right that no that you're going to come to the bus we can Replay that section if somebody wants to
008rehear it I think we can also send this video back with the board when you deliver it too if you want to just have that option there but you might know that occurs at about 3:45 and 50 seconds back to the bu everybody uh we [Music] okay did you hear any warning from coach Larry about don't drive the bus don't move the bus or anything like that no I did not I'm sir that's pretty much video from this video it is all right now we have other videos from the bus itself correct that's correct yes sir there's three views why don't we start with the one where we can see the bus driving and then I think that gives the board a sense of where the bus went or drove it you can hear in
009the background that's the bus being on right that's correct sir the bus is turned on that's because the student started the bus that's think we The Bu is back [Music] you I over there were those students that just walked in that yes that's correct uh school had just dismissed at that time I [Music] d [Applause] what [ __ ] am supp to you for for [Music] spe I to these videos J [Music] I think they're the the same order it's the same incident just in different times just different viewpoints but uh I I I don't think we need to hear the whole conversation of what those teenagers were having do we yes sir okay play it in this all but I don't think we need to play all of them because it's the same sound right right
010can we all agree that it's the same sound same bus ride well what I was trying to capture is I think the microphones are to the cameras so you can hear a little bit differently depending on which camera is playing so I suggest jump to 355 because that's when they talk about whether or not they're authorized to to move the bus by and I mean you if you want to play when you when you have your turn to do it then that's fine too but we can watch out much of it I believe in this five minute block you'll basically he Fu you bit [Music] that c my name [Music] okay the young lady was just Ting with the headphones on that's the girl who was giving the keys is that right that's correct yes
011sir and the girl on the white shirt is she the one that eventually drives the bus that's correct [Music] me [Music] up let know how to drive iar the [Music] get [Music] I think you're about to hear when the young girl walks up to the outside and asks did y'all get permission to this bus and they're resp [Music] what the [ __ ] are they doing [ __ ] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he told me to get the key he said bring okay you put I just [Music] thought [Music] got about two minutes Mr Larry's going to come up the bus [Music] the [Music] what color is the curve right that's a Red Zone it's a fire zone that's supposed to be clear for fire safety Vehicles if something happen that's great spe open power [Music] me [Music] spe you
012we can hear you [Music] [Applause] [Music] now page one of the exhibit packet the administra that notice recation for contract teration yes sir you just tell the board briefly why you felt like termination was the correct action on Mr contract well after reading the statements from the scholars but also um more importantly looking at the video and the safety concerns that the students who were on the uh bus as well as the students who were walking in the vicinity of the bu while the bus was in motion created a severe liability of safety and uh just overall liability for the district um and and all involved and So based upon the safety concern but also the lack of uh following the 3.27 which is supervising students at all times I felt like that this was
013definitely a serious offense that we can not have happen again for the sakey of our kids and questions for Dr um Dr Owens in looking at this video the students that received of us uh Jordan Bryant uh states that uh coach told her to get a kid to bring up the bus did you ever hear Co state in that video that she was to tell anyone to bring up the I did not and in fact um in the first video that was played uh Jordan who received the keys to the bus said she was not going to drive the bus correct that's correct so it was an understanding at that point that the coach would come and get the bus and bring it up is that correct I'm not at Liberty to answer that because
014I was not there uh well the video shows uh that the coach only had a conversation with um Miss Bryant about opening the uh bus up is that correct not just opening the back uh bus up no he asked was was she going to bring the bus up and it was a clear understanding that she was not going to bring the bus the student stated that yes and and the person who actually drove the bus was she involved in the first conversation between the coach and Miss Brian was not so it's it's clear that she was never given authorization to is that a question yes do you see that he ever gave Lexi authorization to drive that based upon the video and when um coach Lar is there supervising all of these students um should
015he not have a sistant he does have an assistant coach okay and where was the assistant coach that evening that afternoon uh before the bell rang had for his assistant coach was in class and so he didn't have an assistant that was assisting him in getting students on the bus into their destination on time based on the video he was the only adult there but he has an assistant coach okay and how often is coach Larry left alone with these uh young female players to get them from inside of the gym onto the bus I have no knowledge of that and is Mr Larry of allowing these students to drive the bus previously based on the video based on the statements of the student yes okay so based on the video an accusation is made
016that the coach has allowed the students to drive the for now every bus ride is video correct that's correct okay who's responsibility over the three years that the coach has been the coach to review these videos to see what occurs on the bus whether any any appropriate behavior is occurring on that bus well if there's an issue that arises then multiple people I the director of security especially if it happens on the bus uh director of security our uh director of Transportation uh administration at the high school or whichever high school or I mean whichever school that it pertains to have they have access to view the video okay so did anyone go back and review the video to see over the threee period that the coach has been the coach whether he has ever
017allowed a student to drive at bus the storage for the video uh only last two weeks well in the whole three years that he has been the coach no one had looked at any video to assess his responsibility his abil to take responsibility for these girls when you have a male individual being left with students nobody is reviewing these videos to see if he's acting appropriate for three years there wasn't a just ca for now how did the school district come to the knowledge that student driven the bus on February 7th of 2025 I was notified by the administration at the high school now uh is the coach allowed to have students act as uh managers on the team yes and were you aware that BR was one of his managers on the team no
018I was not and as a student manager um would a student manager be permitted to open a school the bus door and allow students to enter the bus and wait on the coach no and is that written somewhere that the manager student can't open the bus and allow the students to enter the bus that's not written but it is written that students should be supervised at all times now the these are teenag correct that's correct and these students walk around campus and is somebody looking at them at all times when they're at school adults in security around yes so was there not Security on campus that we have security uh there were Security on campus and so there would not have been Security in the area where the bus was left I'm not aware where
019the security was located at that time but based upon your your principles and policies when students are departing to go on a trip you don't have security around to see what's occurring security monitors the entire campus now but for this incident where Mr Larry has been accused of authorizing which is a a specific term that he authorized someone to drive his bus what if anything is in his personel file his evaluations that indicated that he's not a responsible adult that takes care of these children and gets them to their games and gets them home safely are you asking there's anything his personel yes sir there's not and when Mr Larry was questioned about whether he authorized any students to drive this bus what was it about his statement that detracted from his credibility when he
020said he did not authorize them to drive their we had multiple students who stated that he did and so therefore we started the investigation but at no time on any of those videos did you have a specific statement from the coach indicating that he had authorized the students to drive the bus did you ask any of those students what point did they hear coach Larry authorize anyone to drive that bus I didn't interview students but when you think that there would be an appropriate question to ask the student where were you standing at what point did you hear coach Larry authorize any student to drive the bus well from the statements uh from the students uh they it was very clear uh from their perspective as well as when I reviewed the video and I
021saw coach Larry hand the keys to the student and then asked are you going to bring it around you likewise heard the students say no I'm not correct that's correct and then when they were the bus that's when the students continue to have a conversation and stated that she's done it before and he did to bring it around and that's why she did but but the fact that allegedly Alexi drove that school busted for does that necessarily mean that the coach authorized her to do that based upon their statements but in fact when Lexi got on the bus Jordan stated to her that the C said to get a student to bring the bus up that's what she asked that's so so at that point Lexi didn't know anything about what the coach said so
022correct that's speculation I was there okay well well no sir we we we heard the video the video said that Jordan told Le that I wrote it down when you're asking me tell one of the kid to bring up the bus so so so that's a statement tell one of the kids to bring up the bus so this is being communicated to Lexi correct that was stated okay so did anybody so the so whatever Lexi wrote in this statement that the coach said to bring up the bus that's not something that she heard from the coach is that correct I did not hear that on the video and I understand that um the school district has a progressive disciplinary policy we do not so when when a student does something that's inappropriate or violates a
023rule or regulation is is a faculty member automatically responsible for what a student does contrary to instruction if it's part of their supervision yes that's all all right any questions from board members Dr thanks sir thank you quick were students disciplined because of this incident yes they yes uh principal BS did meet with the students was any of that discipline on Coach Larry's recommendation no after Administration discovered what happened correct that's correct thank you Dr thank [Music] you we do have a question for you Dr I'm sorry um did coach Larry report that the students had drove the bus to you or to administration at all no no ma'am he did not okay thank you that's all for the administration all right Miss Campbell your presentation may please the board I'm sha Campbell and I
024represent coach uh Willie Larry Jr I have an A David that's been signed by Jordan Bryant the young lady that was on the bus uh in the presence of her parents as a matter of fact um Miss Jordan and her mother came to my office on March 13th of 2025 to execute this affidavit to indicate that the coach authorized her to drive this bus she has not seen anyone else drive this bus and um that her mother was so concerned uh that her daughter had made a false statement that she wanted to correct this for the record and I'd like to submit this on behalf of U coach Willie Larry I assume you want first of all we have give us just a second for for for okay Mr G thank you uh the question
025was asked did the coach come to the administration to report that a student had driven the bus by the time the coach got to M High School some assistant coaches had already made it to m school and said that the athletic director had already called them into the office and asked about the student driving a bus so the administration was well aware that the bus had been driven at the point that Mr Larry was at the game it would not have been appropriate for him at that point to do an investigation when they had a specific game a specific time of course it was obvious to him that some inappropriate behavior had gone on but he he did not have the time it was not would not have been appropriate to try to chastise Jordan
026in front of the whole uh Team cuz obviously he would have assumed that if anybody drove the bus it would have been hurt but that would not have been the appropriate time to do an investigation but the administration was well aware by the time the coach got to that game that the student had been driven the bus so it was not it was not necessary for him to tell them because the coaches the assistant coaches had come up to him game and said that we had been pulled in and already asked about this incident about driving the bus so he was aware that there was an incident he was aware that he was going to have to talk to the administration but it's not that he was trying to hide it from the administration the
027time or or the place but let let me just say this as a person that had four teenage girls all at the same time in my household driving is an attractive nuisance all teenagers are fascinated by automobile and so this was a diance that these teenagers went on but they should have been responsible enough at 15 17 years of age not to uh take a car that's just like geord r or stealing a vehicle I mean actually it could be a criminal act that you take a vehicle and drive it uh with without permission so I don't think that the coach in the situation that he was in trying to supervise these girls if they ask look can I I'm I'm the manager I would assume that you would choose a manager responsible that could
028go and open the door for the bus while the coach is attempting to make sure everybody is out of the dressing room they have all of their gears he's there by himself he should have had an assistant coach helping him according to uh the testimony previously and that this person has been working for the school district for three years without any infraction and that you're going to lose your whole career that just seems to me just to be overboard to terminate a person who has been responsible there's not been any incident where he's put these students life at risk and certainly he didn't expect that this young lady was going to drive the bus they were just joking around with each other she understood that she was not supposed to drive so she instigated this
029incident and then I think we learned to well these students have been taught to but there was really no consequence for their action but Jordan uh because she was sincere and understood what she did and her parents wanted her to understand that you cannot be untruthful and and jeopardize a person's career and and just lie I mean those are the type of characteristics that you don't want to your children that's why her mother uh readily brought her up to the office and wanted to get this matter cleared up and I just think that um if the coach is going to coach these young ladies that he always has somebody with him to supervise him I mean if you're talking about what's in the best interest of the school district it's never in the best interest
030of the school district to have a m with 9 10 11 one but to have a mail by himself with these students because anything could have any allegation uh could come up worse than this allegation of uh driving a school bus and we just feel like that to terminate his employment when he has had a stellar career with his school district would just be cruel and unusual that's it all right did you want to is that everything Miss Campbell or did you want Mr Larry to speak do you have any questions from I guess Mr Larry go ahead normally we'll do this in a question and answer format well I question I can yeah I mean if if it's it's unal it's informal and conversative tone I think is what we said so Mr L
031if You' got a presentation you want to show us and then we can have a conversation Mr Mr Richards can ask ask you some questions as well and then the board we can open up to that so yeah if you got a presentation you just is that is it stuff right there can we we had HDMI that we can just plug into the screens or is that yes if it's just HDMI you plug it in right there this weekend I had the privilege of being in Jacksonville at the Jacksonville Boys and Girls Club I had the opportunity to participate in the basketball camp it was the B makes Legend basketball camp Jacksonville is known for some of the best hoopers to come out of Arkansas you see you have the flying it was just a
032Vibe man we had kids dancing we had a lot of people participate they have all different types of competitions but this really was a fundraiser and being being able to have the opportunity to get back to the community as you can see we have people from all over Central Aransas Happ Larry you have aop yes I'll pass C for for for the video primarily about the Jacksonville basketball it needs to be seen to show that I started on boys side I initially interviewed for assistant girl's position because my goal was with the video in case he can't pull it up so they know what they're going to be looking at the video is of the basketball camp and it looked like a promotional piece for the basketball camp shows it shows us is that a
033Rel right all things about the basketball right well it also shows my character at this point my character is I understand but the video itself is a promotional video for the basketball camp right no sir it's not does it show anything other than the basketball it's going to show uh our values beliefs and culture understand you want people draw conclusions from it about who you are as a person and that's fine well also but it's from seeing your participation in the basketball camp right I I disagree what you said I'm just I'm not allowed to play with is it not anything is it good to go okay not anything damaging I'm just try what's it so this was the summer transition from being the boys Co to the L Co this is one of our
034raise $700 for the xville Boys and Girls Club which is going to be a great opportunity for them to use those funds for a number of different things to help the kids in the community now while I was here I was able to capture some really good moments of the kids participating in different activities and competitions and and drills and all these different things so let's talk about that so first pton Wayne Right beat props her she was the free throw champia Simmons was the three-point champ and then as you can see here just kids having a good time uh they were smiling the the the the camp directors were smiling the people that was helping was was just really having a good time as you can see as they're participating in different things now
035they got down to it they did some three on three and some people was really really competing they was out there getting after it really being competitive trying to win uh you know how it is when you get on the basketball court especially at the Boys and Girls Club you trying to you trying to do something Buddy here was getting bucket you see little step back hit the jump there some older guys was really celebrating them uh we had people D up showing off their handles so it was a a really a good good event good vibe everybody was having fun people was scoring buckets they was getting after even our ladies were able to get in the mix nice little run right there I have a couple players I want to introduce to you
036when they wasn't coaching they had no problems with telling people they were miked up hi I'm effort of time that video is available on YouTube when I transitioned over to the lady side I brought everything that I had learned upon in the Jacksonville to the lady I would like to believe that I've T PR chemistry accelerated chemistry Physical Science Biology also T summer school and then I'm on the leadership committee at the school on the science department chair um and I'm also on the curriculum instruction team for the high school all of that those promotions were in one year also on the JHS handbook committee I was appointed by coach hi there is nothing in the handbook that explains when you're the only coaching Athletics for two years I was with the girls and I'm
037going toat I was with the girls 2023 through 2024 by myself we grew the program from returning to 31 ladies our freshman had success our JB undefeated our improve their overall during that time I meet with Coach h on a regular basis in my opinion he does a great job of communicating and improving approving our routines I have text messages emails audio where he has approved of our routine when I'm by myself one of our student assistant coaches is going to express how she has been appointed by coach chicken B in the case as it was this year where you have five coaches in athletics for the boys program every day and I'm with the JB and varsity which is 22 Ladies by myself every day so one evaluation I got from chass MC she's
038assistant principal here she my most recent evaluation she says Globes Scholars were engaged in the lesson and curious about the content while they asked lowle questions it was evident they felt comfortable that they would receive an answer a great way of building a foundation to increase their understanding of elements in the periodic table that strategy had to use while documented last year I brought up a level one complaint to show that the girls need the same support and resources as the boys it happened last year in basketball and track and the head coach for track as well and then this year no adjustments were made I'm going to bring the light some of the supervision incidents that's happened at Jacksonville to where were made for the boys program nothing was provided to the ladies program
039so that's why I wanted to start with this video to show object at this point this is not about the girls versus the boys basketball team this is about an incident they having on a particular day yes sir I just I just want to communicate yeah I think uh the board would share that we we don't uh condone any differences between the boys and the girls programs and again I don't think that's relevant to what we're talking about this evening either I I I I we hear where you're coming from we appreciate that appreciate what you're doing in the community let's stick to this incident and what's going on here well this incident I'm bring it back to this incident when I'm by myself when we have two coaches it is normal or we establish
040a routine coach we run Transportation requests by text messages emails for him to approve our travel routine this r approve because when there's two coaches U one of the coaches will pull I got a question this is the r I'm just going over the routine that we have one of the coaches will pull up the bus and then the other coach will supervise the ladies I can't go in the ladies locker room when they're in there getting dressed and they have to go in and get dressed we finish our walk through which we didn't get to that day because we were trying to diffuse um an altercation that happened between our n graders so that led to the time lapse we were trying to diffuse that to the point where I go ahead and tell
041aana that hey you come with us so I can separate and that was something that contributed to the LA the six minut LA but also at this time um I just wanted to communicate that that's our normal established routine with two coaches when I'm by myself uh our student assistant coach and Jordan has served as a student assistant coach U goes back to when that trust was established when they had the incident where students were stealing from the concession she did not steal anything so she was making Improvement enough for us to see if she could handle those responsibilities um but I wanted to communicate that to know that show that we I believe in student engagement having a W for everybody because that's the only way we G get to M about 5 o'
042and beat traffic we didn't leave until after school it was a statement that was asked did I let anybody know what was going on when I get out the bus I have no idea that a student I'm not even thinking that a student pull the bus up but it is after school and we do have assistant coaches the email and hero requests that flow down to the gym also uh directed Transportation there's multiple Personnel at transportation we have two bus so what we usually do is sometimes when we use it we leave a bus unlocked and put the bus keys in the bus seat or when we get back uh the bus key sits on the window seater so kids have access to this uh authorized unauthorized visitors have access to this any cult have
043access to this because we Shar it so I've been helped out before by multiple Personnel to pull the bus around which is as you see well I guess you can't see it on this video one of the student statements actually says that oh coach Larry paused and was like is this our bus but however I in game mode we're late I got two students that walk in Chick-fil-A which is I'm ad ministrator text me I have their text message saying that I bought the kids chick-fil but we had three students that had to eat so we didn't leave till I believe the time step is 4:08 40941 we didn't leave I have to get over there and get the kids food before we get to my uh I have a statement in here just to
044show that or I'll pass evidence to you just to show that at no time one the improvements we made at the program none of our kids haveed for anything that's the culture that we're trying to build because it was fractur when we took over and we trusted with this responsibility can we focus on the inent that ISS yes so the incident but it's superv I want to explain the sequence of events that day we get to my mail a coach comes up to me have you ever seen somebody I got called into the office this is what the coach says have you seen somebody drive the bus before I tell him no at that point that's all I know going into the game our JB gang are schedu at 5:00 we have to get kids
045food we they got take they got situated so that's my mindset and then Saturday that's when I was aware that I been placed on administ Saturday and then the meeting for m so I was removed from campus I couldn't do any investigation and obviously I don't have a right per our student contract and per um uh what's been communicated to us my admin our athletic director you don't have right to without doing an investigation of all the staff review all the evidence and then we make a recomendation to him but I do want to read this in this goes into the uh just the culture that we're building um this is what you'll see I'm read this and then pass to this is our agenda for the athletic coaches meeting 2024 through 2025 I was
046on the athletic handbook committee there is nool sorry we're not trying to build a case that Mr is a bad teacher or a bad coach well I just want to Excuse excuse me we need to focus on the inant issue and what happened there and not yes sir we didn't bring a case of he's a bad teacher or a badur so all that's outside of what we're here for tonight Mr Larry don't you just supervision Mr Larry Mr Larry you'll need to let Daniel respond okay just give us a moment who president I I mean I think we do need to keep the conversation to the incident at hand we seen you know allowed kind of a little bit of leeway here but if you want to just submit that to us we don't need
047to read it out loud we we can share it and read it ourselves that's no problem okay I'll pass it to and there is no record in which we have been trained okay and then here's the that talks about all right all right I'll read the statement from student assistant coach we have that in our packet as well right yes sir let's we we don't we don't need I'm kind of I don't like having all these students names out here in this hearing I know that's part of what we're doing but we've got it we can read it okay so don't read the statement I don't think that's necessary no sir I would say if Scott if you've got some questions for Mr Larry just Mr Larry you deny you don't giving the student the
048keys to the bus correct uh part of our normal established routine yes sir admitted that you gave the keys to the bus to the student and allowed the student to go to the bus unsupervised correct the ladies sir ladies coach Larry is your mic on is it did it turn itself off Mr if I yes sir this will go much quicker we'll get me much faster if you just listen to my question and answer just what I asked okay and I'm going to try and stick the yes or no question so short answers will be best thank you so do you deny telling that student or asking that student are you going to bring the bus up our manager Jordan no sir I do not deny giving Jordan the key as we have established a
049r listen to my question okay very focused question do you deny saying to that student to that student manager the bus will you bring the bus up I was asking a question I was joking in the moment I do deny I do not deny you don't deny that you said that to us and she told me no if she say yes I wouldn't have given her the key we'll let the board make that decision our normal routine is that we have two coaches for the coaches yes I understand that's I do want to point out yes you need to stoping documents you need to stay at the podium yes sir so we can have a dialogue okay yes sir I apologize I might pause a moment stay with me all right after that you got
