Parents tell Klein ISD trustees of alleged Title IX failures and restroom incident at Klein Oak
Summary
Three public commenters at Klein ISD’s April 13 board meeting alleged failures in the district’s Title IX and grievance processes, described a sexual‑misconduct incident at Klein Oak High School, and said they have placed the district on legal notice; the board later adopted a hearing officer’s recommendation in a related level‑three grievance.
Three public commenters at the Klein Independent School District board meeting on April 13 urged the board to act after what they described as mishandled safety and grievance responses at Klein Oak High School.
"In August of 2025 at Klein Oak High School, my son and another minor were allowed by an employee of the district to enter a restroom only to find a 22‑year‑old student from a neighboring campus masturbating," said Justin Waldridge during the public‑comment period. Waldridge said he later learned there were two incidents that day and asked trustees why the board had not been informed that more than one event had occurred.
Margaret Greg told the board she was withdrawing immediately from a team and described repeated minimization of concerns and ‘‘blatant retaliatory actions’’ against her family that, she said, damaged her daughter’s physical and mental well‑being.
"This is a formal statement for the record. Admin has been placed on formal legal notice of my intent to pursue federal action under Title 9," said Nikki Kenins, who alleged sex‑based discrimination, retaliation and failures to meet required response obligations within the cheer program and questioned whether the district met Texas Education Code requirements for emergency communications.
The comments referenced the district’s grievance and Title IX procedures and asked whether formal notices and corrective actions had been logged and transmitted to legal counsel. Nicole Peters, the board secretary, reminded the public of the district’s public‑comment rules and that certain grievance items will be handled in executive session when required by law.
Later in the meeting, on agenda item 11, the board voted to adopt the hearing officer’s recommendation in a level‑three FNG grievance related to parent JS. The board recorded the motion as passing 6–0. The motion text appearing in the record states: "I move that the board adopt the hearing officer's recommendation in the matter FNG complaint related to parent JS." The transcript does not record who made the motion or the second by name.
What happens next: the speakers asked the board to ensure timely Title IX processes, transparent communication to parents about safety incidents, and that grievance procedures available under the updated law are followed. The board’s public record shows the formal adoption of the hearing officer’s recommendation on item 11; specific next steps from the board about the public complaints were not recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
