FINAL UPDATE - THE COACH HAS BEEN REINSTATED!!! THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
UPDATE - MEETING TONIGHT AT 5PM WITH THE PRINCIPAL IN THE CAFETERIA. PLEASE COME OUT TO SHOW SUPPORT!!!
We the parents, athletes and community members of Hayward High School are requesting the immediate reinstatement of Hayward High’s football Coach Justin Redemer effective immediately. He was in properly removed as the head coach due to a juvenile incident involving non-student threatening the coach and the team. We feel this decision was made too harsh and in an unfair manner. The team has been forced to forfeit a game and there are five games left in their season. This is especially unfair to senior players who have been coached by him. No reason or explanation has been provided to the athletes or parents by the principal. We are also asking for a meeting with the principal as soon as possible to discuss the rationalization for this decision.
I understand the need to distance the school from potential liability, however, the coach is entitled to due process. A thorough investigation should have been performed before his termination. Please correct this grievous error.
