McKinney ISD on Friday night released a statement officially reinstated McKinney High head coach Marcus Shavers to his duties after being on paid administrative leave for little more than a week after a social media video featuring Shavers surfaced.
A portion of the district statement reads:
“On August 31, McKinney High School Head Football Coach, Marcus Shavers, was placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. The investigation is now complete and the evidence did not support a finding that Coach Shavers engaged in illegal conduct.
Shavers was cooperative throughout the entire process. The day the investigation started, Shavers voluntarily submitted to a drug test and the result was negative. He also voluntarily agreed to monthly random drug testing going forward. He will return to his McKinney High School football coaching duties on Saturday September 9, 2023.”
Shavers did not coach in McKinney High’s 35-14 win over Richardson Berkner and is not coaching in tonight’s game against Flower Mound. Shavers will resume his duties as the Lions head coach on Saturday morning.
