Kamiak football coach fired amid sexual misconduct investigation

MUKILTEO — A paraeducator at Kamiak High School has been fired amid a police investigation into sexual misconduct with a student.

Julian Willis, 34, an assistant football coach and emergency substitute teacher at Kamiak and Mariner high schools, was placed on leave April 3 and fired from the district May 22, said Diane Bradford, spokesperson for the Mukilteo School District.

Willis had not been arrested as of this week. Mukilteo police said Thursday it remained an active investigation.

The Daily Herald does not typically name suspects until they have been arrested or charged. However, in this case, Kamiak Principal Stephen Shurtleff sent out statements to families and students asking those with information to contact the school’s anonymous “safety tip reporting tool.”
