Parents raise concerns about volleyball tryouts and senior parking at Fairfield Area SD meeting
Summary
A parent complained that volunteer mothers led a volleyball practice and alleged the head coach was largely on his phone; another commenter and trustees discussed senior parking spots and associated fees. The chair offered follow-up contact but no formal board action was taken.
During the public comment period, Lily Myers, who identified herself to the board, raised concerns about the volleyball tryout/practice for the 2025–26 season. Myers said two volunteer mothers led much of the practice and that Coach Cal "was seen on his phone majority during practice and he didn't really interact with us much," and asked who is making team decisions and how roster selections will be determined.
The chair asked Myers for an email contact and said staff would follow up; no formal disciplinary action, investigation or decision about coaching assignments was recorded in the meeting minutes provided in the transcript.
Separately, public commenters and trustees discussed senior parking spaces and painting: several seniors have been charged for parking spots this year and some raised concerns that in prior years seniors were not required to pay. Meeting participants said artwork for parking-space decorations is due in August but a painting date had not been set; staff and trustees indicated they would follow up to clarify the schedule and payment policy.
Board members encouraged parents to provide contact details to the district so staff can respond and said athletic staff and administration would be asked to follow up outside the meeting. The meeting record does not show any change in team-selection policy or in senior parking rules at the time of adjournment.
Quotes from the meeting included: "Coach Cal was seen on his phone majority during practice and he didn't really interact with us much," and "There were today, I counted 22, including me," (a count of students who attended the volleyball practice).
