“The decision to dismiss the coach was the right one, and it is final,” Antonucci said in a statement he read during Thursday night’s School Committee meeting.
On Friday, April 29, Fogel fired Davis after what Davis described as a heated argument involving “chest bumping” over whether or not members of the boys track team would be allowed to train shirtless. Antonucci announced May 10 that Fogel had been placed on administrative leave and recommended that the School Committee launch an independent investigation into the incident.
The investigation concluded that there was “no such contact,” between Fogel and Davis, Antonucci said. Antonucci said in his statement that the decision to fire Davis was not based on whether or not the boys track team would be allowed to run without shirts, but rather Davis’s repeated failure to “interact with students, his colleagues, and his supervisors in an appropriately professional and respectful way.”
