Springfield BOE removes termination of head football coach from agenda
The 2017-18 school year is still months away from concluding, but it already has been a long year for Pat Gucciardo, Springfield High School’s head football coach.
The coach has experienced a contentious year that included–at the January 24 meeting–an item on the board of education proposing his termination as coach.
No action was taken, however, as the board unanimously agreed to remove the item from its agenda.
