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.

P.I.A.A. to Vote on Schedule Change
The PIAA is considering shortening each competitive sport season by 2 games to save districts money.
This begs this question---if sports are to be shortened, then why are we building this massive athletic complex?

In effort to ease the burden of strained school budgets, the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association is considering a move that would eliminate two games from all varsity schedules except football and spare district dollars on the cost of transportation and officials.P.I.A.A. to Vote on Schedule Change
The 31-member state sports association will vote in less than two weeks—when the P.I.A.A. convenes on May 25 and 26 in conjunction with state track championships—whether or not to reduce athletic schedules for the impending school years.
“Knowing that many districts are facing financial strains due to (Gov. Tom) Corbett’s proposed budget, the association is looking for ways to help districts save on expenses,” said Melissa Mertz, assistant executive director of the PIAA.
Local district leaders have mixed feelings on the pending vote. Athletic directors say it’s a decision best left in-house, while school board members say it could be worth a look.
