Rashaad Powell, Renton High boys basketball coach and administrator, on leave after investigation

A Renton School District staff member watched two students exit the office of assistant principal and boys basketball coach Rashaad Powell on March 20. Documents later described one as “visibly agitated” as Powell followed. “My mom, pal? My [expletive] mom?” the student yelled at Powell, per an investigative report produced by the Renton School District. “Are you [expletive] kidding me?” The confrontation prompted the Renton School District to open an investigation into allegations that Powell, who has worked for the district since 2009, sent unwanted sexually explicit photos and messages to mothers of his students in recent years.
