The ongoing investigation into improprieties within the athletics department at Northern Guilford H.S. prompted Supt. Mo Green to address questions at a town hall meeting sponsored by the school's PTSA.Andy from GreensboroSports.com has good play-by-play coverage on his site today. What's notable about the goings-on with this investigation can be found in these questions:
When will the investigation end? This is hindering preparation for end of school testing and the exam period, why did this have to happen now and why couldn’t the county wait until a time when the entire student body wasn’t in such a crucial academic time frame?
When will the non-faculty coaches be allowed to return to the Northern Guilford campus? Why wasn’t Mo Green at Northern and on campus the day all of this broke in the media, Friday April 10, the same day that Joe Yeager, Derrell Force and Louis Lawson were forced to resign?
Will the other schools in Guilford County also be investigated and why is Northern being singled out? Questions were targeted toward Dudley and Page and other Guilford County Schools in general……
Why has there been so much insensitivity on the part of the interim principal and others that were there during the transition period and why haven’t the student voices been heard at Northern during this entire ordeal?
Mr. Green, if you had it to do over again, would you handle these changes at Northern Guilford in the same manner?

Personally, I think that it is unfortunate that the Superintendent has to personally address this type of issue. From my perspective, it is an administrative issue which definitely needs addressing, but not in the public forum.
We're living in an era where we expect our leaders to take a position and make a statement on every issue which arises. The time might better be spent on lowering the drop out rate, motivating students to excel, and increasing test scores.
Distraction, distraction, distraction.
