What does pending JCPS approval mean? Does he have a history or reason they wouldnt let it go through? Why did he leave as the Head Coach of Shawnee?

 

 

Coach Walker was doing some good things at Shawnee. For some reason the AD and he couldn't see eye to eye on how the program should be ran. So coach Walker left. Had Coach Walker received the support he needed Shawnee would be a better program today.

All coaching hires must be approved by JCPS/Board of Education after the school decides on a coach before they are "official". The board meets every Monday or Tuesday.

 

And people should note that this is he same for ALL districts. Though it may pretty much be a "go" after the school makes their decision, the BOE still has to officially hire the person. Depending on when the BOE meets, this can add days or even weeks to the official announcement.

This is false, the law is very specific on hirings. The building principal, afterion with consultation with the SBDM Council shall make a recommendation to the superintendent who then in turn completes the hiring process. The superintendent MUST accept the building principal's recommendation.

Coaches leaving or getting fired were common under Dr. Hill's reign as Principal at Shawnee. When the school goes K-12 Kenny will have a middle school already in the same building to draw from. A very unique advantage that most schools don't have.

Bucket,it was not the AD(Jelly Green) it was the former Principal Dr. Hill....Bubba had a father son relationship with Coach Green......:clap:

Good luck to him at Atherton. Seems like one of the toughest places to coach and win! I did see somewhere that Dave Weston was going to be an assistant? Any truth to that?

True....True...Coach Weston will be in charge of the Defense, and Walker will call the Offense......:popcorn:

I believe this may be the best thing that could have happened for Atherton, both Walker and Weston! :banana:
