Rodella was fired.

"Rodella was fired." That comment was just approved. It was a response to Anonymous at 6:33 PM April 28, 2017 under Anonymous letter from the inside.

Anonymous shared a link to a job posting for a Girls' Volleyball Coach in the 6:33 PM comment.

So who is Joe Rodella? I never met the guy, but Joe Rodella, former school board president and Pitt's hockey coach was hired to replace the girls' volleyball coach who was fired because of sexual misconduct. Despicable UPDATED 3X. Certainly, a hockey coach would be the logical hire for a girls' volleyball coaching position. Joe has also been in the news. PA Cyber connections prompt inquiry 

Rodella is also on the Mt. Lebanon Community Endowment Board. Mt. Lebanon Community Endowment Board of Directors as indicated in the Anonymous letter from the inside. 

Begor, Grogan, and MTLSD case continues

Lawsuit information is available in an earlier Lebo Citizens post.

Despicable UPDATED 3X

In lawsuit, volleyball players accuse Mt. Lebanon coach of sexual misconduct

Before he was hired by Mt. Lebanon , the suit said, former players, coaches and parents told athletic director John Grogan about the 1995 incidents and told him not to hire Mr. Begor.
After the district hired him, according to the complaint, he began sexually suggestive conduct.

I wonder if John Grogan shared the warnings with the school district. Does anyone know who does the hiring? Is it Timmy, the school board, or HR? Whoever is responsible should resign. Whatever the case, our school board president (was and still is) made national news when this youtube video hit. "Our goal is clearly not to find a qualified and interested U.S. worker."

If the name Begor sounds familiar, Dawn Begor was the Devil's Advocate advisor when this news hit. Parent offended by article in The Devil's Advocate UPDATED I don't know if there is any relation.

I am sorry that our girls had to endure this abuse. I hope they collect HUGE damages from Mt. Lebanon. This is despicable.

Update April 25, 2016 7:01 PM Lawsuit claims former Mt. Lebanon volleyball coach behaved inappropriately

Unfortunately, this is the same school board where the president made national news when this video was released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFEgUnfortunately, this is the same school board where the president made national news when this video was released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFEgFajGUWhen the district hired him in 2015, he subjected the girls on the team to sexual behavior that included having them wrestle each other while he taped them, using nicknames that added “-gina” and “-licious” to their first names and frequently grabbing his crotch with one or both hands in front of them, the lawsuit said.

I tried to post a reply to Donald Holt with the above quote from the Trib, but it didn't pass the moderator. :(

Update April 26, 2016 5:27 PM I'm glad to see that the defendants are Mt. Lebanon School District and John Grogan, as well as Brian Begor. https://dockets.justia.com/docket/pennsylvania/pawdce/2:2016cv00498/230254I am so sorry to hear that four of our girls had to endure this abuse. I hope the parents and the girls are able to collect big time and that there are some resignations over this. Truly desp

Parent Questions Integrity and Character of Volleyball Coach UPDATED 2X

It is after 4:00 PM and the School District has yet to air the school board meeting from last night. A resident has cited flagrant violations as per the PIAA.  The coach has excluded freshmen from the team, and allowed a parent of a player to choose the team members, as I understand it. Elaine Cappucci said that the Board will not address this issue. The resident shared two separate emails from the girls' volleyball coach. Unfortunately, Larry Lebowitz was not present, which disappointed the speaker since his name was first on the list.

Mary Birks explained that she had trouble with [this]* a coach, as well.

I uploaded the entire podcast here.  The last seven minutes of the meeting contain the parent's comments. This has not been shared on public TV so far.
