Oklahoma school district and coach faces lawsuit over alleged abuse and toxic culture
A federal lawsuit has been filed against the Ringling School District and coach Phillip Koons, who is accused of fostering an abusive environment. The suit alleges that Koons, along with his sons, created a culture of hazing, bullying, and harassment, despite the district’s knowledge of his prior misconduct. Koons resigned after facing similar allegations at previous schools. The plaintiffs seek over $75,000 in damages.
