Parent Upset that WB Allows Teacher to Coach Football for West Central

It’s not too often someone speaks up during the public comments portion at the West Burlington School Board Meetings, but last night one parent expressed a couple concerns.

Michelle Murphy first spoke about how she felt it wasn’t right for former head football coach Jeff Housel to keep teaching at West Burlington and coach football for another school…

Housel will continue to serve as West Burlington’s Athletic Director but has recently been hired to coach football for West Central High School.
Murphy also expressed concern about open enrollment and wants to know if the school plans to hire more teachers to keep up with their increased enrollment…

Superintendent Dave Schmitt suggested she make an appointment with him so they can discuss the issues one-on-one.
