As the controversy continues over the hiring of a baskeball coach in Amityville, the school district has released the following statement: At its special meeting on November 5th, the Board of Education took action on various coaching appointments for the Winter season. Coaching appointments are annual appointments. As the community is aware, there was an issue regarding last year’s Boys Varsity Basketball program that resulted in significant media attention. The Board of Education and Administration have spent a considerable amount of time discussing the appointment of an individual for this year’s Boys Varsity Basketball program. This included a discussion regarding the conditions under which the Board would consider the appointment of a former coach for the 2014-15 season. Unfortunately, the parties were not able to reach agreement on the terms of such an agreement. The individual appointed as Boys Varsity Basketball coach by the Board on the evening of November 5th subsequently resigned from this position. The Board has directed Administration to re-post the Boys’ Varsity Basketball Coach position and has appointed an Acting Boys’ Varsity Basketball Coach to start the season. We remain committed to finding a new coach for the 2014-15 season who will carry on the tradition of excellence of the Amityville basketball program. For full story, see: amityvillerecord
