Parent says Vernon fencing team moved to cafeteria; superintendent pledges to revisit schedule with coaches
Summary
Parent Jennifer Fernandez told the board the Vernon fencing team is no longer practicing in the Butler Building and is using a cafeteria, causing scheduling conflicts; Superintendent Dr. Yanni said coaches were involved in planning and that he will review scheduling with the athletic director and fencing coach.
Parent Jennifer Fernandez told the board that the Vernon fencing team had previously practiced in the Butler Building but is now practicing in a cafeteria, creating conflicts with other after‑school activities and shorter practice times. "They are practicing in the cafeteria," Fernandez said, and she asked whether the board or administration was aware of the change.
Superintendent Dr. Yanni responded that he and the athletic director have been in contact with the coach, that the renovated athletic center can be used by fencing but that scheduling must be coordinated, and that he would follow up with the fencing coach to revisit arrangements. "We will have a conversation... My athletic director and I will have a conversation again with the fencing coach and involve him in the process," he said.
