Story is up and running. This is the father's side of the story, not mine. I am doing all I can so far to remove opinion and just telling what happened.

From what I see, this whole thing (regardless of who is right or wrong) is based on administrative issues, procedural errors and an unwritten policy employees and parents have no clue as to the details. It's like all sides are trying to put together a puzzle where all the pieces don't fit.

Apologies for the paragraph spacing. This became a platform issue with copy & paste. Other social media outlets have the spacing - which is easier on the eyes.

Talk about moving the goal posts and then taking the goal posts down completely at the end. What a terrible look for the BOE. It really makes you wonder if Jeff blank retiring had anything to do with how messed up this situation got.

If the procedures to re-enroll the son at Fort Hill this January were in place back in August, none of this would have happened.

But there was no procedure to prevent such, which is why it was like a puzzle with pieces that don't fit that every student, parent, PPW, principal, coach had to assemble and interpret.

Finally some procedures with teeth were put in place. But why all the eventual pound-of-flesh documentation when historically you'd expect people moving into the community from out of state would want to do the right thing and be part of the community. It appears that was never the intent.

So, nobody cares about the position it puts the students... the coach... the program... the school... in fact, Cumberland as a whole - yes Cumberland... because the Fort Hill football program is probably the last crown jewel left in the city.
