Former trustee Cody Weaver urges Plano ISD board to resign or fire superintendent over alleged withholding of misconduct information
Summary
Cody Weaver, a former Plano ISD trustee and the lone agenda speaker July 9, said the district withheld information about alleged educator misconduct and urged the board either to resign for complicity or to fire Superintendent Theresa Williams; the board then moved to closed session and later authorized a termination notice for Paul Campbell.
Cody Weaver, who said he served as a Plano ISD trustee from 2019 through 2023, used his public comment time at the July 9 special meeting to allege the district and the superintendent withheld information about staff misconduct and to call for investigation and accountability.
Weaver named two former employees in his remarks and cited court records and media reporting: "On, 01/07/2023, Megan Lorraine Rollins was charged with a 2nd degree felony ..." He also referenced Victor Hugo Marino (arrested and charged in August 2022, according to Weaver) and said their educator certificates remained active; he concluded by saying, "Either this entire board needs to resign for being complicit in a cover up or this this board needs to fire the superintendent for her dereliction of duty." The transcript records no direct on-the-record rebuttal from district leadership during public comment; the board adjourned to closed session thereafter.
Weaver asked the board to investigate past actions by district administration and legal counsel, asserting trustees were not informed earlier. The boards subsequent closed session and the later authorization to issue a notice of proposed termination to Paul Campbell were the proximate next items on the agenda, but the transcript does not record any district response in open session to the specific allegations Weaver raised.
