I was speaking to my cousin, a Delbarton Alum. He was quite happy to hear Mountain Lakes was cutting there AD position. He said thank you in advance.

Many of our children's college careers will rise and fall with athletic achievement. This position is crucial to that end.

This is a foundational role for our athletics department and sports community, which we cannot take for granted.

Please retain the position of Athletic Director. Mountain Lakes has a long and proud successful athletic history. It is one of the reasons we choose to live here. Athletics are an integral part of our students high school experience and also bonds our community. Effective leadership of our Athletics programs is vital to continued success.

The role of AD is a very important one. And I believe Patrick Brunner does an outstanding job. Please consider keeping the position. Regards, Pat Natale

As a Graduate of the Class 1984, I played two varsity sports, as did my older brother '81, three nephews, one niece (all early 2000's) and now we have two boys in the HS both playing two sports. The AD potion has been integral to the success of our sports program and the confidence building of the participants. We have shined with championships (conference & state) in multiple sports (girls and boys) and several times this has earned us Top-10 National Rankings opening up more opportunities for our student-athletes. This has helped hundreds if not thousands of student-athletes get into a better college due to their competitive nature. This position, if moved to part-time or a shared position will erode the caliber of our sports program and ultimately have a negative affect on college placement for our athletes. Please re-consider this decision to eliminate this full-time position.

Please retain the AD position in the upcoming school budget. The students have been through too much during this school year. They do not need to experience any more confusion during the 2020/2021 school year. Thank you.

There is no way this position should be eliminated. The current AD is doing an amazing job!! Athletics is important to this community and must not eliminate such a critical position.

Eliminating the AD would be a terrible decision. There are many other ways to save money.

Mountain Lakes cannot go without a full time AD. As a person that has done this job in the past, this position is so important to the success and reputation of Mountain Lakes High School. To have this job performed by more than one person is definitely not ideal to the success of the athlete program which is one of the most successful in the state. This is a very important component to the total success of Mountain Lakes High School and the Mountain Lakes Community! As a person that has held the position of Athletics Director at Mountain Lakes High and for 24 years at another area high school, I would be more than willing to discuss this concern and look into other ways to save money in the Athletic Department.
