I don't think he was "ran out", but there were definitely issues

As a Waxahachie alum, here's what I know/heard. Kitna was put in an awkward position with the school district after one of his coaches had an incident with a student. Since he was only there for a short time he kind of left the school high and dry as he and a lot of his coaches left all at the same time.

in what context is the word "incident" being used?

This is kind of speculation and cannot really be confirmed. But friends I had close to the program at the time said one of the assistant coaches was wrestling with a player and ended up breaking the kid's arm. Take it with a grain of salt as it was just the common rumor among the folks I still knew in Hachie at the time.

When Kitna was hired at Wax, he essentially "forced" the school board into approving the hiring of several coaches that weren't teachers but made large salaries.

A few years in, a coach was accused of bullying or something of that nature. Another coach on staff was a "whistleblower" about the whole thing, and low and behold, that coach (the whistleblower) was not renewed at the end of the year.

When Kitna was hired, the school district had a $6 million surplus...by the time he (and the Superintendent) left, the school district was $6 million in the red...

Head scratching move for Burleson...

Where are you seeing this? The district's fund balance is well above $6 million.
