[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the follow up to the community (that there was no proof beyond the one incident and that police were looking into it, etc) was inappropriate.  I get the innocent until proven guilty, but when kids health and well being is at stake, I wouldn't be waiting for proof from the police.  ALL Damascus football should be suspended a MINIMUM of one year.  [b]All coaches (Varsity and JV) terminated and not allowed back in MCPS ever.[/b]  And Jeff Sullivan needs to go.  [/quote]

MCPS had the same response to a serious problem at our school last year.  They have athletic issues all across the county putting the safety of children at risk that Jeff Sullivan cannot wish away by tweeting #weRAISE.  MCPS has no problem punishing students, but over and over again it refuses to hold coaches, athletic directors, and principals responsible for problems on teams.[/quote]

Who supervises Jeff Sullivan? Is his union different than the teacher unions?[/quote]

You could call his office and ask the secretary.  I would imagine he is member of the union for school administrators since he does not teach - but I am just guessing.

Sullivan's supervisor is a good question.  Athletics in MCPS operates as it's own universe with it's own secret rules that they do not post online.  I think the person Sullivan would answer to is Dr. Zuckerman.  Beyond that it's Dr. Smith.

My dilemma is who to school athletic directors answer to - the school principal or Jeff Sullivan? Sullivan is rarely at a school and how involved does he get when there is a serious coaching problem?  The crap rains down on a principal if stuff happens on a athletic team and the principal would have a better idea if athletic problems are due to bad athletic directors. [/quote]
