Possible Motion on Personnel Matter
Bill Agan made a motion to move the following as the board findings. The Glenwood football program as a whole does not meet our expectations and needs improvement. Ultimately the success of the program requires the cooperation of the Coach and the Activity Director and we are troubled by the lack of cooperation demonstrated by the Head Coach and A.D. in improving this program. We expect the Head Coach to respond positively to constructive recommendations of the AD and to respect the AD as a Supervisor. Going forward we expect the program to improve as a result of a cooperative and positive leadership which has not been demonstrated up to this point. David Warren seconded the motion. A roll call vote showed all in favor of the motion.
Bill Agan made a motion to support the recommendation of the Superintendent to terminate the head football coaching contract. Linda Young seconded the motion. A roll call vote showed Linda Young and Bill Agan in favor of the motion. Opposed were David Warren and Theresa Romens. The motion failed due to lack of a majority vote.
Adjournment
