This is very disheartening on many levels. 1.) Coach Dolce by all accounts has been an exemplary part of WPS for as long as most of us can remember and deserves an explanation for non reappointment, as well as an apology for any negative/unfounded damage to his reputation and the lack of communication and transparency 2.) The arbitrary removal of his name by one or two members of the SC despite recommendations from our athletic director and superintendent and with the principal's confirmation of no knowledge of any complaints, completely undermines our athletic director's authority and judgement as well as the future ability to recruit and retain dedicated coaches - what coach would want to commit to a system or try to build a team where there is not a transparent/formal process for evaluation, reappointment, and complaint resolution? 3.) WPS has struggled with many very serious and public issues over the past few years. With a new chair and three new SC members who all pledged transparency and a rebuilding of community and teacher trust in WPS, this arbitrary action being one of their first, feels like a slap in the face to all those who voted for them and an abuse of power. The school community and all present (and future) coaches deserve an explanation of how this coach was removed from a recommended list by 1 or 2 SC members with no process or transparency and a pledge to create a formal/transparent internal process for the recruitment and reappointment of coaching staff as well as complaint resolution - asap. While many are concerned with this situation, it has even broader implications for the reputation of our newly elected SC and our school system - apologize for how this was handled, resolve it in a transparent way for those involved, and create system to ensure it does not happen again so you do not lose the trust of those you represent - it is much easier to admit and correct a mistake than to rebuild trust.
