What they're saying:
"Over the past 33 years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to create lasting memories and build meaningful relationships that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I am deeply grateful to Celina ISD for the support and trust extended to me throughout my career, and I wish the district continued success in all its future endeavors," Elliott told Celina ISD in his retirement letter.
The backstory:
Elliott has been on paid leave since October, when police and the school district began investigating his son, Caleb Elliott, for charges of child exploitation and child pornography.
Caleb Elliott, who coached at Moore Middle School, is accused of secretly recording sexually explicit images of boys in the school locker room.
The school district said an independent review found no evidence that Bill Elliott or any other employee had previous knowledge of the alleged crimes.
That review is expected to be made public this week.
