Fort Bend ISD remains silent on abuse allegations as multiple administrators are placed on leave and parents demand answers

FORT BEND, Texas (KTRK) — This month alone, three Fort Bend Elementary school administrators were placed on leave amid allegations of misconduct.

The district says everything is investigated, but families believe that’s not enough and they deserve more details.

Multiple administrators from Fort Bend ISD are now on leave following allegations of inappropriate behavior. The latest information comes from Quail Valley Elementary School; Here just last week the district said they were investigating administrators at Colony Bend Elementary School and Goodman Elementary School.

We spoke to people with family members who work in the district and they were stunned to hear the allegations.

“We’re alarmed by all this. My daughter has been teaching in Fort Bend for years and I’m amazed by this,” Charlene Fribley said.

The district sent a statement about Quail Valley Elementary School that read in part:

“Allegations of inappropriate behavior by Quail Valley Elementary School staff were immediately investigated by the district and the staff was placed on administrative leave.

The district did not say what the staff member was charged with.

A person with a grandchild at one of the area schools is asking school leaders for more details.

“Their lack of transparency seems to be the issue of the hour. They see a problem and they don’t follow up on it, and parents should be allowed to talk to school districts and let us know what’s going on,” Norah said. Garcia, who has a grandson in Fort Bend ISD, said.

ABC13 reached out to the district to see if we could get more answers and we are still waiting for a response.

ABC13 also attempted to contact the district last week after Colony Bend and Goodman Elementary School administrators were placed on leave but did not receive a response.

As the investigation continues, the community hopes more will be done to prevent incidents of abuse from happening again.

“There’s a process they go through, and the process has to trap things, and if the process isn’t working, it needs to be revised. What can they learn from that,” Mike Fribley said.
