In just two short weeks, Katy ISD superintendent Lance Hindt has been shoved into the national spotlight after a former classmate accused him of bullying more than 30 years ago.

Hindt, 53, apologized to district employees in a letter Monday for all the negative attention the accusations made by Katy-area business man Greg Barrett have brought to the district.

"It is unfortunate that half-truths, viral videos, edited tape, false statements, and gotcha moments are a part of our modern mainstream news and social media culture," Hindt wrote. "Although I do not believe the attacks on our great school district, our school board or me are over, I remain steadfast in my commitment to Katy ISD."
