Meanwhile, on the gridiron …
CMS officials have acknowledged that they learned well in advance of the official start of this year’s football season that a Butler High player had been arrested for rape, but that Ed Shed brass failed to notify the school for more than week.
As a result, Osvaldo Sombo, 17, was able to play in the school’s opening game last week, despite the criminal charges. TCO has the details here.
At which point we need to recall that in the run-up to the kickoff of the gridiron season, CMS officials were busy giving scores of athletes – at least two dozen, including four from Butler – the boot because of eligibility issues.
“The system is working,” CMS communications director LaTarzja Henry said at the time. “This shows us that our coaches and athletics directors are more diligent before the seasons begin.”
Wonderful.
