Parent tells Warrick County board her son was cut from Tecumseh basketball without records, cites policy and federal privacy concerns
Leslie Jean addressed the Warrick County School Corp board during patrons’ concerns, saying her son, Aiden Moore, the only senior on the Tecumseh basketball team, was removed this season and that the school produced no documentation supporting the decision. "When I met with the head coach and the athletic director, I asked for documentation supporting this decision. They had none," she said.

Jean told the board she met with the superintendent and followed up in writing but was told the matter was closed. She said the district provided only "a cut form handed to him the moment he was cut," and that no evaluations, performance notes, tryout criteria, or staff review documentation were produced. "That is not documentation. That is after the fact justification," she said.

Why it matters: Jean framed the issue as both a violation of district policy and of federal student‑privacy law, arguing that any record directly related to a student — including evaluations, assessments or team‑placement decisions — must be maintained as an education record. The parent said the timing of the removal, after she raised earlier concerns about her son's treatment, raised questions about retaliation.

Board response and next steps: The transcript records Jean’s request that the board locate and show any evaluations or written concerns that support the removal; no district document was shown during the meeting and no formal response reversing the decision was recorded. Jean concluded, "It's indefensible. And I will continue pursuing this until the decision regarding my son is corrected." The board did not announce an immediate procedural remedy on the record at the meeting.

Context: The issue came during the public‑comment period; the board later handled routine business and approvals on agenda items. The parent explicitly said she was not asking the board to choose players but to examine whether the district followed its own policies and federal recordkeeping requirements in removing a student athlete.

What remains unresolved: The transcript contains Jean’s repeated requests for documentation; it does not include any board or administration response showing the requested records or a formal appeal outcome. The record therefore leaves the claim unresolved pending any follow‑up or additional evidence.
