Former Tomball ISD coach, teacher charged
What we know:
Nicholas Alan Codutti, 43, was arrested on Saturday and formally charged with indecency with a child and sexual performance by a child. The alleged incidents related to these charges happened in Harris County between 2018 and 2019.
Codutti's bond was set at $50,000 for each of his two charges. Records confirm he has since bonded out.
HCSO detectives launched a detailed investigation back in late April 2026.
A report was filed with Child Protective Services alleging sexual abuse involving a former minor Tomball ISD student. Codutti was employed as a coach and teacher at Tomball ISD, according to court records.
Klein ISD responds
What they're saying:
Klein ISD officials shared a letter sent to families on Saturday. Codutti most recently worked as the Athletic Coordinator at Klein High School.
According to the statement, the district learned of the allegations in May 2026. The school staff and families were informed, and Codutti was placed on leave.
After learning about the charges, he was fired from Klein ISD.
Read the full statement below:
"Dear Klein High Community,
We have just been cleared by outside law enforcement to provide information regarding now former Klein High Athletic Coordinator Nick Codutti. We have been notified that criminal charges have been accepted against him related to an alleged matter that occurred while he was employed in another school district, prior to joining and completely unrelated to Klein ISD.
Since we first learned of these allegations and informed Klein High staff and families in May 2026, Nick Codutti has remained on administrative leave and away from students. Upon receiving this information from law enforcement regarding criminal charges, his employment with Klein ISD was terminated.
As we shared previously, prior to being hired, Nick Codutti successfully completed all required background checks and received positive professional references from previous employers. At
the time of hiring and thereafter, Klein ISD had no information related to the alleged conduct now resulting in criminal charges.
Because this is an active criminal matter unrelated to Klein ISD and is being handled by outside law enforcement, we do not have any additional information to share and are not able to answer questions related to their ongoing investigation. Our focus remains on taking care of our students and supporting their success.
We recognize how troubling this information is, and we share your concern. Klein ISD takes criminal charges involving student safety extremely seriously, and when information comes to
our attention that raises concerns about an employee remaining in a position of trust with our students, we act swiftly and decisively. The safety and well-being of our students remains our
highest responsibility."
