Palmyra wrestling coaches fired for apparently disciplining the school board vice president's son
Last night’s school board meeting was pure chaos. Head wrestling coach Jonathan Regets and his assistant just had their contracts terminated. The timeline of events is wild:
- Coach disciplines a student for unsportsmanlike behavior.
- Student turns out to be VP Corey Andrew’s son.
- Administrative investigation immediately follows after Andrew allegedly made false accusations against the coaches.
- The coaches are suspended and then reinstated.
- The season ends, coach is named coach of the year.
- The superintendent recommends rehiring the coaches. The SHAM School board, says no.
- The community packs the room to protest, but a 5-4 majority axes the coaches anyway.
The SHAM voting bloc consisted of Jill Martin, Seth Steinmetz, Alicia Haldeman, and Cynthia Spondello. Oh and VP Corey Andrew did not recuse himself during the final vote.
Disgusting way to treat people who uplift our kids.
