Oklahoma school district seeks legal help as OSBI investigates
Tod Mercer, representing student-athletes in a case against Ringling High School Principal and football coach Philip Koons, supports the school district’s decision to seek legal counsel amid an OSBI investigation. Koons faces abuse allegations, with Mercer pointing to a systemic issue allowing accused educators to move between schools unchecked. While Koons is on paid leave, Mercer plans to file a lawsuit to pursue justice for his clients.
