Parent tells board coach 'abused' student athletes and says investigation found allegations substantiated
Summary
A parent alleged that her children experienced mental and physical abuse by Roosevelt High coach Shauna, said a district investigation substantiated the claims, and urged the board to act; the claim was made during the public‑comment period and no board response or recorded follow‑up action occurred during the meeting.
During public comment, Diana Miner described her family's experience with a track coach at Roosevelt High School, saying both her son and daughter suffered mental and physical mistreatment that ended her son’s season and prolonged her daughter’s injuries.
Miner said the family raised their concerns with school staff and with Mr. Shiers, but that "the investigation has been completed. The allegations against Miss Shauna have been substantiated, but yet there's been no action," and urged the board, superintendent and incoming leadership to take steps to prevent future harm. She added that the students did not receive promised support such as college recruitment follow‑up.
The board did not make a public statement in response during the meeting and there was no recorded formal action tied to the public comment on the agenda. The district staff or board may follow up with the commenter by written communication, as is standard under district public‑comment procedures.
Reporter note: the statements above reflect the comment as delivered to the board. The transcript records the parent’s assertion that the investigation substantiated allegations; the meeting record does not show board action or a district response on the record at that time. Journalists should seek the district’s investigatory record or an official statement for confirmation of findings and any personnel or safety actions taken.
