A Krum ISD teacher and coach, Mitchell Davis, has been placed on administrative leave after district officials learned of his arrest last week on domestic violence charges.

Charges and Arrest

According to Denton County jail records, Davis was booked into the Denton County Jail on June 10 and released the same day after posting bond. The charges against him include continuous violence against the family and assault of a family or household member by impeding breathing or circulation, stemming from an alleged incident on March 1.

District officials immediately placed Davis on administrative leave pending a review of the situation, according to Krum ISD Superintendent Jason Cochran. While on leave, Davis is prohibited from having contact with students and is not allowed on district property.

The district is cooperating fully with law enforcement and will follow district policies and legal requirements as the matter proceeds. The safety and well-being of students remain the district’s highest priority.
