Tomball ISD parents say voicemail recording destroyed trust in school leadership

(Fox 26 Houston) The parents of a 5-year-old at Grand Oaks Elementary in Tomball ISD say they’ve lost trust in campus leadership after Principal Heather Myers, who handled the initial investigation into their report that another student had inappropriately touched their daughter, left them a voicemail that kept recording after she thought the call had ended. In the recording, she allegedly disparaged the parents to colleagues. The district placed Myers on administrative leave and called her remarks unprofessional, but it maintains that the campus investigated the underlying safety report promptly and in line with policy. The family has pulled their daughter from school, says she won’t return under the current administration, and, with an advocacy group, is urging the district to change how it investigates campus safety reports.
